He presents the landmarks of Stalins rule: the class 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.Distilling a lifetimes study, weaving detail, analysis, and research, Conquest has given us an extraordinarily powerful narrative of this incredible figure.Thoughtful and thorough and shot through with insight.-The Washington Post Book WorldDefinitive . . . a magnificent, even poetic, act of historical retribution.-The New LeaderBrilliant . . . this book probably is the most cogent and readable account of Stalins life yet published.-The San Diego Union\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666164875552,"sku":"NEW0140169539","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61GwE1IDrtL.jpg?v=1778922681","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/stalin-breaker-of-nations-0140169539","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
