About this listen
Winner of the British Book Awards History Book of the Year
Longlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize
This thrilling biography of Stalin and his entourage during the terrifying decades of his supreme power transforms our understanding of Stalin as Soviet dictator, Marxist leader and Russian tsar.
Based on groundbreaking research, Simon Sebag Montefiore reveals in captivating detail the fear and betrayal, privilege and debauchery, family life and murderous cruelty of this secret world. Written with extraordinary narrative verve, this magnificent feat of scholarly research has become a classic of modern history writing. Showing how Stalin's triumphs and crimes were the product of his fanatical Marxism and his gifted but flawed character, this is an intimate portrait of a man as complicated and human as he was brutal and chilling.

Which is better? Bergerac or the story?
Mercifully erudite and hard hitting. I would definitely recommend this especially after watching "The Death of Stalin."

Decent Stalin biography
Not a big fan of the author who writes history with no new evidence or analysis to add to an already great number of similar books.
But this passed the time ok.
Not exceptional or ground breaking, more written for a popular audience and mass market than someone serious about history. However enjoyed more than the Romanovs.
