- Biography, Head of state, History, Politics and government.
The fascination with evil; that is how I describe reading this book. Because the main character - Josyp Stalin - fascinated like a snake. His evil is unwavering; from the early 1920's until his death in 1953; Stalin plots, deceives, fools, liquidates, anyone he feels threatened by, or annoyed with; whether one person or millions of persons.
