This is the first comprehensive and analytical military biography of STALIN to
be published in the Western world or the Soviet Union.Based on extensive study,over
many years, of Russian texts, documents and orders of the Red Army and Soviet High Command, together with the memoirs and personal accounts of Red Army commanders and staff covering the period from 1918 to 1953.
Pioneering work compiled in conjunction with authorities in Britain, Germany and the United States, explains the technicalities of the organization and functioning of the Red Army and its Supreme Command, the detail of its communication system and day-to-day working, as a background to the part played by STALIN during the Civil War, the
Russo-Polish War, the Russo-Finnish War and Second World War.Many of the reports and orders reproduced in the work are those penned by STALIN himself, unmistakable in their style and content.
Seaton's earlier work 'The Russo-German War 1941-45' has been acknowledged in UK, Germany and US as the standard work on the
subject.
Book covers entirely new ground;that part dealing with the Second World War is described from STALIN's viewpoint and that
of the Stavka, the Red Army general staff and front commanders.The picture of STALIN
which emerges so forcefully from Seaton's study will certainly alter the orthodox estimate of one of history's most powerful
leaders.
