Description:... History will inevitably deem Joseph Stalin one of the truly dominant figures of our century; it will then note this biography as a towering bench mark and turning point in how he was studied and judged. For Stalin: Triumph and Tragedy is the first objective Soviet biography of the man whose triumph became a tragedy for a whole people. Dmitri Volkogonov is a former colonel general and present head of the Institute of Military History of the Soviet Union. 24 pages of photographs.
