Review # 1 was written on 2019-06-17 00:00:00 Kevin Bolger gives a pretty dece overview of the various appraisals of koba w/n establishment academia. BUT all that really translates to is a bunch of passages where the author's all like "concerning the five year plan i prefer the assessment of [bougie turbodork] to [paid-off hack like robert fucking conquest]". NO THANKS p.s. scarequotes around "western imperialism" but completely unironic use of the phrase "gorbachev's reforms". lol yeah, fucking A, mate

Review # 2 was written on 2011-09-19 00:00:00 Patrick Broussard I haven't finished this book, but I've read a lot of it and skimmed the whole thing. So far, I can say that for a bourgeois-academic study of Stalin, this is one of the best, objective and scholarly in a way that is comparable to the excellent "Stalin's Wars" by Geoffrey Roberts.
