Reviews

"Anyone who does not read Stalin in Power from cover to cover will miss the opportunity of gaining real insight into the forces that shaped the Soviet Union. This is the best book about Stalin that has ever been written and one that is not likely to be superseded in the foreseeable future." -- W. Bruce Lincoln - Chicago Tribune "Tucker writes psychobiography with tact and common sense, never letting Freud get out of hand, while his narrative holds the reader in grim fascination." -- Jane A. Taubman - Los Angeles Times "Mr. Tucker has hunted out the sources, and he has discovered and developed a great deal more than has been generally known... An extremely valuable contribution to our knowledge." -- Robert Conquest - Wall Street Journal
