Beria, my father: inside Stalin's Kremlin

Więcej o książce

For nearly twenty years, two men from Georgia dominated the Russians and their empire: Stalin and his ruthless henchman Beria. Much is known about Stalin, but little about the increasing psychosis in the Kremlin where an arm amicably laid on one's shoulder could mean death. In this compelling book, Beria's son draws on many political and personal events to portray his father, and explain the incomprehensible loyalty that Stalin inspired among women including his mother. Arguably Stalin's murderer, Beria dramatically lost the struggle for power with Khrushchev, who killed him execution style with the aid of his fellow politburo members.--Amazon.com
