Stalin: The Undeniable Power (English Edition)

Under Stalin's rule, the idea of "Socialism in One Country" became the central dogma of Soviet society, opposite to Leon Trotsky's view that communism should be spread throughout permanent global revolutions. He replaced the New Economic Policy introduced by Lenin in the early 1920's with a highly centralized economic system, starting a time period of industrialization and collectivization. His authoritarian vision for the USSR quickly transformed an agricultural society into a global commercial power.

This book examines the leader's life, key decisions and lasting legacy.
