Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar,
by Martin Walker
This might be a long biography, but Walker does an exellent job of creating
the world of Joseph Stalin. His use of terror and murder during his reign is
wonderfully documented as well as his obsession with his family. One interesting
aspect of World War II is how ill-prepared the Russian army was for the attacks
by the German army.
