A wicked history: 20th century
|
| Summary/Abstract |
Joseph Stalin was born in 1878 and died in 1953. People remembered him as a cruel guy because he was a Dictator. He was known as the dictator of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from 1929 to 1953. Under Stalin commanding, the Soviet Union was transformed from a peasant society into an industrial and military superpower. Joseph wasn’t born in a good way, he was born in poverty then became involved in revolutionary politics. But not just that, he also participated in criminal activities at a young age. After Joseph’s friend Vladimir Lenin died Joseph got mad that he put a lot of people in labor camps. With all of those cruel activities, Stalin aligned with the United States and Britain World War II from 1939 to 1945. But after the war, it also led to another war called the Cold War. After Stalin’s death, the Soviets initiated a de-Stalinization process.

| Summary/Abstract |
Radzinsky narrates the high drama of Stalin's epic quest for domination-first within the Communist Party, then over the Soviet Union and the world He uncovers the startling truth about this most enigmatic of historical figures. Only now, in the post-Soviet era, can what was suppressed be told: Stalin's long-denied involvement with terrorism as a young revolutionary; the crucial importance of his misunderstood, behind-the-scenes role during the October Revolution; his often hostile relationship with Lenin; the details of his organization of terror, culminating in the infamous show trials of the 1930s; his secret dealings with Hitler, and how they backfired; and the horrifying plans he was making before his death to send the Soviet Union's Jews to concentration camps that were tantamount to a potential second Holocaust.
