Young Stalin tells the story of an exceptional, charismatic, darkly
turbulent young man born into obscurity, fancying himself a poet and
a priest, and finally embracing revolutionary idealism as his Messianic
mission in life. Equal parts scholar and terrorist, a mastermind of
bank robberies, extortion, piracy, and murder, he was so impressive
in his brutality that Lenin made him, along with Trotsky, his chief
henchman.

Here is Stalin the supreme dictator in the making - his psychology,
his loves and hatreds, his intellectual interests, his knowledge of
the world - learning how to triumph in the Kremlin and create the USSR
in his profoundly flawed image.

Based on exhaustive research and astonishing new evidence, Young Stalin
is a brilliant prehistory of the USSR from the perspective of those
who would bring it into being.
