Stalin :
A Time for Judgement
Jonathan Lewis, Phillip Whitehead
“Stalinism is a word the world knows. It stands for a system of extraordinary inflexibility, cruelty and deceit. But it was more than tat. How did it produce such a unique amalgam of despair and pride? Who was Stalin – the product of the Bolshevik Revolution which he helped to lead, or an aberrant reversion to an older Russian tradition? What was the sheer scale of his achievements and his crimes? And what is his legacy to the modern Soviet Union?....Not until the era of glasnost could such a book be undertaken. It provides a compelling analysis, with the help of contemporary recollections and pictures, of an extraordinary epoch of modern history – the time of Stalin .”
