What forms such a merciless psychopath and consummate politician? Was he illegitimate? Did he owe everything to his mother – was she whore or saint? Was he a Tsarist agent or Lenin's chief gangster? Was he to blame for his wife's premature death? If he really missed the 1917 Revolution, how did he emerge so powerful? Born in poverty, exceptional in his studies, this charismatic but dangerous boy was hailed as a romantic poet, trained as a priest, but found his mission as fanatical revolutionary.
This enthralling biography that reads like a thriller finally unveils the secret but extraordinary journey of the Georgian cobbler's son who became the Red Tsar. Yet Stalin hid his past and remains mysterious.
Stalin remains one of the creators of our world – like Hitler, the personification of evil.
