Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar by Simon Sebag Montefiore
4.0

Well written, lots of intense stuff of course.

Amongst it all, this book kinda implies that the almost-invited-in-by-Stalin German attack in WWII was a collollary of the terror, and that the terror was a collollary of Stalin's wife (presumably) killing herself. He was, in fact, bonkers.
