Stalin

"Stalin" is a two-volume biography of Joseph Stalin, written by Leon Trotsky between 1938 and 1940. The second volume was not completed because of the author's murder. The publication of the book was delayed by the publisher because of the American entry into World War II - the work was published only when the Cold War began: it was edit by Charles Malamuth and first published in 1946. The book has a strong anti-Stalinist message: the Soviet leader is accused of committing a number of crimes, including poisoning of Vladimir Lenin. Translated into many languages; first published in the USSR in 1990 and became a bestseller. In 2016, a new edition was published by Alan Woods in English. Woods added 100,000 words, had "Malamuth's political distortions removed" and created "The most complete version ever in any language".
