Stalin
'A masterly account . . . Kotkin has given us a textured, gripping examination of the foundational years of the man most responsible for the construction of the Soviet state in all its brutal glory.' --The New York Times Book Review 'This is a very serious biography that . . . is likely to well stand the test of time.' --The New York Review of Books 'Superb . . . Only Mr. Kotkin's book approaches the highest standard of scholarly rigor and general-interest readability.' --Wall Street Journal A magnificent new biography that revolutionizes our understanding of Stalin and his world The product of a decade of intrepid research, Stalin is a landmark achievement.

Stalin
Iskra Books is proud to publish the first authorized English edition of Domenico Losurdo's now-mythic text, Stalin: History and Critique of a Black Legend-translated for the first time from the original Italian. Operating under the assumption that the prevalent rejection of, or dismissiveness about, Josef Stalin as a historical figure merits closer and critical inspection, Losurdo encourages readers to make up their own mind on Stalin, rather than to uncritically accept received, popular notions. In fact, it is precisely the now-widespread caricatures of Stalin as personified evil-rife in liberal democracies and uncritically accepted by most Western leftists-that Losurdo shows to be more related to contingent ruling class preoccupations than actual evidence. Even pointing out such problems with conventional representations of Stalin brought a shower of accusations of 'Stalinism' or 'neo-Stalinism' upon Losurdo, who made it clear that the text of Stalin was not a rehabilitation but a
