Zusatztext "Naimark deserves great credit not only for having written a crisp! concise book but also for sparking a discussion that historians far too often are reluctant to have." ---Mark Kramer! Journal of Cold War Studies Informationen zum Autor Norman M. Naimark is the Robert and Florence McDonnell Professor of East European Studies at Stanford University. His books include Fires of Hatred: Ethnic Cleansing in Twentieth-Century Europe and The Russians in Germany: A History of the Soviet Zone of Occupation, 1945-1949 . Klappentext " Stalin's Genocides is a magisterial and admirably lucid analysis of the Stalinist terrors that is both totally accessible and finely nuanced in its scholarship--Naimark's superb work assigns the criminality to Stalin's own bizarre personality as well as the repressive Soviet system." --Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Young Stalin and Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar "This book is simply outstanding. Naimark takes the most significant aspect of Stalin's rule--mass terror--and shows how it was applied under Stalin's direct inspiration and, often, his close supervision. It is proof of Naimark's mastery of the subject and superb writing skills that he can provide sharp, gripping sketches of such monumental issues in Soviet history." --Jan T. Gross, author of Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland Zusammenfassung Between the early 1930s and his death in 1953, Joseph Stalin had more than a million of his own citizens executed. Millions more fell victim to forced labor, deportation, famine, bloody massacres, and detention and interrogation by Stalin's henchmen. This book tells the story of these crimes.
