| | 1. |  | Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar
from Vintage
Price: $8.98
Customer Review:
This book is not, strictly speaking, a biography of Stalin nor is it a history of the Soviet Union during the life of Stalin. I read this book as a detailed chronicle of depravity and butchery orchestrated by Stalin and experienced by the Soviet people. Stalin, turned loose by the Communist... more info

from Belknap Press of Harvard University Press

Customer Review:
I loved this very indepth biography of Stalin. The new information that has become available since the dissolution of the USSR was used by Service to a great extent in crafting this book.

from Pocket
Price: $0.01
Customer Review:
I love the character of Arkady Renko, but in this story, he just seemed so tired. He plods along doing what is right, but there's no edge--just a world weariness. The bad guys are well written, but Eva, Platanov, and Zhenya are just flat. I don't even know why Zhenya, a chess prodigy, is in the... more info
