Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Stalin Did Not Act Alone. The Mass Executions, The Mock Trials, The Betrayals And Purges, The Jailings And Secret Torture That Ravaged The Soviet Union During The Three Decades Of Stalins Dictatorship, Were The Result Of A Tight Network Of Trusted Henchmen (And Women), Spies, Psychopaths, And Thugs. At The Top Of This Pyramid Of Terror Sat Five Indispensable Hangmen Who Presided Over The Various Incarnations Of Stalins Secret Police. Now, In His Harrowing New Book, Donald Rayfield Probes The Lives, The Minds, The Twisted Careers, And The Unpunished Crimes Of Stalins Loyal Assassins.Founded By Feliks Dzierzynski, The Chekathe Extraordinary Commissioncame To Life In The First Years Of The Russian Revolution. Spreading Fear In A Time Of Chaos, The Cheka Proved A Perfect Instrument For Stalins Ruthless Consolidation Of Power. But Brutal As It Was, The Cheka Under Dzierzynski Was Amateurish Compared To The Welloiled Killing Machines That Succeeded It. Genrikh Iagodas Ogpu Specialized In Political Assassination, Propaganda, And The Manipulation Of Foreign Intellectuals. Later, The Nkvd Recruited A New Generation Of Torturers. Starting In 1938, Terror Mastermind Lavrenti Beria Brought Violent Repression To A New Height Of Ingenuity And Sadism.As Rayfield Shows, Stalin And His Henchmen Worked Relentlessly To Coerce And Suborn Leading Soviet Intellectuals, Artists, Writers, Lawyers, And Scientists. Maxim Gorky, Aleksandr Fadeev, Alexei Tolstoi, Isaak Babel, And Osip Mandelstam Were All Caught In Stalins Webcourted, Toyed With, Betrayed, And Then Ruthlessly Destroyed. In Bringing To Light The Careers, Personalities, Relationships, And Accomplishments Of Stalins Key Henchmen And Their Most Prominent Victims, Rayfield Creates A Chilling Drama Of The Intersection Of Political Fanaticism, Personal Vulnerability, And Blind Lust For Power Spanning Half A Century.Though Beria Lost His Powerand His Lifeafter Stalins Death In 1953, The Fundamental Methods Of The Hangmen Maintained Their Grip Into The Second Half Of The Twentieth Century. Indeed, Rayfield Argues, The Tradition Of Terror, Far From Disappearing, Has Emerged With Renewed Vitality Under Vladimir Putin. Written With Grace, Passion, And A Dazzling Command Of The Intricacies Of Soviet Politics And Society, Stalin And The Hangmen Is A Devastating Indictment Of The Individuals And Ideology That Kept Stalin In Power.
