A wonderful biography of the great author of Life and Fate which deals with Stalin's dreadful crimes in which countless people, including the cream of Russia's intelligentsia, died. Grossman's book took decades to see the light of day in Russia. He compares Stalin with Hitler the difference being that Stalin murdered millions of his own people. The lessons of history have not been learnt in that country and the infamous Stalin is now enjoying a revival. Read this book and count your blessings.
