SUMMARY

Sergo Beria was born in Georgia on 28 November 1924. Stalin -- friendly with his mother -- frequently visited the Beria household, as did Stalin's daughter Svetlana. Arrested after the execution of his father, he was released a year and a half later from his confinement. Banned from Moscow and forced to change his name, he continued to work for Khrushchev as an engineer on missiles while his wife, a granddaughter of Gorki, and children remained in Moscow. Francoise Thom is a specialist in Communist history of the period and teaches at the Sorbonne. A large part of the book is based on interviews she had with the author. Her notes provide a comprehensive commentary on his testimony and are based on exhaustive research of existing and declassified archives Brian Pearce taught English to Russian Embassy staff in the 1950s and was in Russia at the time of Lavrenti Beria's fall.
