Overview
This is a portrait of a man who perhaps more than any other determined the course of the twentieth century. Stalin was a terrifying character, perhaps the closest to a monster that humankind has ever produced. In this book he emerges as a man unnatural and unreal, who gave his personal authority to the slaughter of millions, but whose vanity demanded their adulation. Robert Conquest demonstrates that Stalin's astounding power was not the reward of ability; it was the creation of a man whose mind was of profound mediocrity, melded with superhuman willpower.
