Montefiore, Simon Sebag - Stalin - The Court of the Red Tsar (Published in by The Folio Society in 2023. Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar is Simon Sebag Montefiore's chilling, superbly researched study of the Soviet dictator and his circle, in a Folio edition with stunning archive photography. Written by the best-selling and prize-winning historian Simon Sebag Montefiore, Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar is a thrilling, intimate portrait of a dictator who 'believed the solution to every human problem was death', and the henchmen who presided over an era of mass murder in his name. Drawing on ground-breaking original research, Sebag Montefiore lays out in terrifying detail the intrigue, debauchery, paranoia and treachery inside the cloistered world of the Soviet Union's ruling circle. With its fresh perspective on the way Stalin and his associates exercised power, both within and outside the Kremlin, this has become the definitive biography. The selection of photography is unique to this handsome two-volume Folio edition, portraying the figures within Stalin's court and the enormity of war and oppression in the territories he ruled. It includes pictures from the David King Archive, one of the world's leading collections of Soviet photography – some published for the first time. Bound in printed cloth. Set in Sirba with PAG Revolucion as display. 920 pages in total. 32 pages of black & white integrated photographs, 52 pages of colour and black & white plates. 2 maps, 1 family tree.
