A mesmerising, chilling close-up portrayal of Stalin from Milovan Djilas, a
Communist insider - with an introduction from Anne Applebaum, author of Gulag and
Iron Curtain
This extraordinarily vivid and unnerving book three meetings held with Stalin
during and after the Second World War. Djilas brilliantly describes the dictator in his
lair - cunning, cruel, enormously talented. Few books give as clear a sense of what made
Stalin such a compelling figure and how he was able to hypnotise and terrify those around
him. Djilas also describes the key members of Stalin's court: Beria, Malenkov, Zhukov,
Molotov and Khruschchev. The result is a gripping account of the ruler at the height of
his fame and power.
Milovan Djilas (1911-95) was Tito's key lieutenant in the brutal
partisan war against the German and Italian occupiers of Yugoslavia. His missions to
Moscow aligned the Yugoslav Communist Party with the USSR, with his final mission in 1948
failing to prevent the break between Stalin and Tito. He was Vice President of Yugoslavia
but became increasingly remote from a regime which he felt had betrayed the ideals of the
party. His two major books, The New Class (1957) and Conversations with Stalin (1962),
enraged Tito and resulted in his spending altogether some nine years in prison. His
writings made him a central dissident figure during the Cold War. He continued to live in
Belgrade until his death.
