Book Description:

Joseph Stalin was one of the defining figures of the twentieth century. After seizing absolute control of the Soviet Union, Stalin set out to transform that vast but backward state into his vision of a Communist utopia. But Stalin's ideal state quickly became a horrible nightmare for millions of Soviet citizens. Ruthless, Stalin did not hesitate to eliminate anyone that stood in his way as he replaced all private property with a government-controlled economy.
