Stalin: Breaker of Nations
In this book, the first to draw from recently released archives, Robert Conquest gives us Stalin as a child and student; as a revolutionary and communist theoretician; as a political animal skilled in amassing power and absolutely ruthless in maintaining it. He presents the landmarks of Stalin's rule: the clash with Lenin; collectivization; the great Terror; the Nazi-Soviet pact and the Nazi-Soviet war; the anti-Semitic campaign that preceded his death; and the legacy he left behind.

A very good - albeit soul-crushing - book to read about the terror Stalin inflicted upon Ukraine is Robert Conquest's "Harvest of Sorrow." One of our great historians - awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005 https://t.co/V3O7m4nUkR
