He presents the landmarks of Stalin's rule: the clash with Lenin; collectivization; the Great Terror; the Nazi-Soviet pact and the Nazi-Soviet war; the anti-Semitic campaign that preceded his death; and the legacy he left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistilling a lifetime's study, weaving detail, analysis, and research, Conquest has given us an extraordinarily powerful narrative of this incredible figure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47094533226736,"sku":"9781433255977","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433255977_p0.jpg?v=1763755136","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433255977","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
