About this book
Covering the period from his early political maneuvers to his death in 1953, this biography follows Joseph Stalin as he transforms from a revolutionary into the Soviet Union's absolute ruler. It details how his aggressive drive for industrialization and forced collectivization led to widespread famine, mass purges, and the imprisonment or execution of millions. The account also explains how his iron-fisted leadership reshaped the USSR and set the stage for the Cold War.
