Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I liked the book because it is the first time I was able to read the Kremlin archives. Being a Russian origin, I would rather read this book in Russian. But I could not. Yes, it is said that archives are open in Russia now, however when I asked my parents to look for this book in St-Petersburg, Russia they were not able to find it and the booksellers never heard about this title. I liked how documents are organized in the book by years and by relevance to the events. The book is logical with the interesting comments by the authors that fill gaps created by the dry language of the protocols and memos. This book helped me understand the motives and evolution of Stalin. It is based on facts and you can not argue with them. If you are looking for the answers like me this book is definitely worth reading However, I think you need to be familiar with a subject.
