Helpful Score: 1


An absolutely fascinating book on Stalin's early life. The book starts at his birth and concludes right about 1918 as far as the main historical narrative goes, although there is a smattering of how the events encountered during this early time period affected events after the revolution.

The book is rather short (good thing) and a very, very nice read. It is not overly loaded with numbers or statistics, but at the same time is sufficiently cited that it could serve as either a good history class text or a casual read.
