tashabye 's review for:

Young Stalin by Simon Sebag Montefiore
4.0

This seems a very well-researched book. I learned much about this guy both as a person and as a political. I preferred the parts which focused more on the person rather than the politics but clearly, they can't be separated so overall a really interesting read. A really good history lesson as I feel I have a much better understanding now of the politics and the lead-up to Stalin's reign. I plan on moving on to [b:Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar|282108|Stalin The Court of the Red Tsar|Simon Sebag Montefiore|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320529351s/282108.jpg|2910172].
