Description
Moscow, 1937: a city in the grip of terror. In this gripping account, historian Karl Schlögel reconstructs the events that led to the 'Great Terror', a period of unprecedented violence and repression under Stalin's rule.
Based on meticulous research and consultation with numerous sources from the time, Schlögel provides a masterful panorama of the key events in Russian history during this tumultuous period. He explores how the regime aimed to construct a new society in the shadow of the terror, and how the boundaries between reality and nightmare became increasingly blurred.
This rich and absorbing account is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding one of modern history's most dramatic and disturbing events. By shedding light on this pivotal moment, Schlögel offers a unique insight into the human experience under totalitarian rule.
