Stalin's Letters to Molotov 1925-1936

"...these few letters are only a tease. They reveal just enough to fire our fancy and then leave us to stew. And the actual texts of the letters take up less than half the pages in the book, though their value is considerably enhanced by Lars Lih's long and illuminating introduction and annotations, which contain valuable additions from other correspondence and documents. Lih's introduction offers a penetrating interpretation of Stalin, the political leader and the man, and Robert C. Tucker adds a thoughtful foreword."Naumov, Oleg V. is the author of 'Stalin's Letters to Molotov 1925-1936', published 1995 under ISBN 9780300062113 and ISBN 0300062117.
