Achtung! Panzer posted:

I'm reading through Robert Services biographies of Stalin, Lenin and Trotsky. The Stalin one was a very good read. Seems like a balanced account of Stalin's life. I can recommend it if you are looking for a biography on Stalin. About 100 pages in to the Lenin book now.

Has anyone read Comrades: A World History of Communism? I'm thinking of adding a fourth Service book to my rapidly expanding book collection.


I would highly recommend The Whisperers: Private Life in Stalin's Russia if you are interested in Soviet society during Stalin's reign. Very disturbing and mesmerizing stuff.
