Joseph Stalin was one of bloodiest dictators in world history and one of the most significant people of the 20th Century. He was the absolute ruler of the Soviet Union and the Communist Bloc of Eastern Europe. He killed millions of his own citizens and was its wartime leader during World War II. Despite his atrocities, Great Britain and the United States were compelled to work with Stalin against Germany.
These books cover a range of topics associated with Stalin. While some of these books could qualify as biographies, others focus on his policies and the consequences of his actions. These books provide a nuanced view of him and his impact on the world.
