The War and Peace of history . . . one of the greatest historical achievements of our age . . . it covers the 1930s, when Stalin forced through the collectivisation of the peasantry, presided over a horrific, arguably genocidal famine, ordered a savage purge of his own regime and stunned the world with the Nazi-Soviet Pact
Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times
A masterpiece, one of the most remarkable books on twentieth-century history to have been published in many years
Mark Mazower, Guardian
'This is the definitive biography of Stalin . . . the most gripping of reads ... the portrait that emerges is of a phenomenally hard-working, ruthless, ideologically driven and coldly calculating tyrant' 'Will surely stand for years to come as a seminal account of some of the most devastating events of the twentieth century' Mark Atwood Lawrence, The New York Times
