Conversations With Stalin - Penguin Translated- Milovan Djilas , Anne Applebau
This is a mesmerising, chilling close-up portrayal of Stalin from Milovan Djilas, a Communist insider - with an introduction from Anne Applebaum, author of Gulag and Iron Curtain. Djilas brilliantly describes the dictator in his lair - cunning, cruel, enormously talented. This extraordinarily vivid and unnerving book three meetings held with Stalin during and after the Second World War.
Djilas also describes the key members of Stalin's court: Beria, Malenkov, Zhukov, Molotov and Khruschchev. Few books give as clear a sense of what made Stalin such a compelling figure and how he was able to hypnotise and terrify those around him. The result is a gripping account of the ruler at the height of his fame and power.
