Joseph Stalin ruled Russia with an iron first. As a dictator, he was personally responsible for the deaths of roughly 10 million people. While most write Stalin off as an evil tyrant, there is more to the man than most know - a US Ambassador once said, "I must confess that for me Stalin remains the most inscrutable and contradictory character I have known."

What could be so contradictory about such a person? This book explores the life of this man who, while an "evil genius", was undeniably a genius in a country at the crossroads of an era.
