This is the account of a man who, in the space of a quarter of a century, altered the course of the history of a country. The boundary between visionary leadership and tyranny is difficult to discern in his life's work. During his reign, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics became a world power at the expense of millions of lives; became a leading industrial nation at the expense of individual prosperity; and won a world war that led to the Cold War. All of these achievements occurred at the expense of individual prosperity.

 

Many others referred to him by a variety of names, including "a bright light," "a staff of life," and "Our Father," which is a reference to the title of God in the Lord's Prayer. Even the formation of a cult around him is attested to.
Nobody would risk going up against him. Those few individuals who had the courage to even mutter was hushed in the most unthinkable of ways. His vision not only took the lives of a great number of individuals but also sucked the color out of the lives of an unfathomable number of others. It was impossible to deny his achievements. His victories were unmatched by anyone else's at the time. His physical prowess was unparalleled.
This man's magnificence will live on through the centuries. Many generations from now, people will talk about him in a way that is both respectful and mocking.
Joseph Stalin, a youngster born into poverty with physical deformities, rose through the ranks to become the most powerful dictator in Europe. His narrative will captivate you, allowing you to get insight into the reasons behind his actions, the repercussions of those actions, and the guiding principles of his life.
