Description
Stalin's Secret War: The NKVD on the Eastern Front by Rupert Butler is a gripping study of the Soviet secret police's wartime campaign. During 'the Great Patriotic War', the agents of the NKVD waged a merciless campaign against their own people to maintain iron discipline and root out dissent. The use of terror has been a hallmark of Russian history, from the days of the Tsars to the present day. The Cheka, OGPU, SMERSH, and NKVD were all part of this tradition, using fear and intimidation to control every aspect of military and civilian life. Butler sheds light on the full extent of this extraordinary wartime operation. This book provides a compelling insight into one of the most fascinating and disturbing periods in Soviet history, revealing the complex and often sinister world of the NKVD during 'the Great Patriotic War'.
