Best biography for years - By: Big Jim, 07 May 2008
Having just finished Tim Jeal's excellent biography of Stanley I stated that that was the best biography I had read for years. I immediately started on this one & three days later am pleased to announce that THIS is the best biography I have read for years. I could resort to cliches (OK I will resort to cliches)this is a virtuallly unputdownable, page turner. A boys own adventure - well perhaps a bit brutal to be boys own, but in alll seriousness, if someone came to a publisher with this as a work of fiction they'd be laughed out of court at the sheer improbability of it. But having said that, the rip-snorting action packed nature of this work alllows the prose to flow in a fictional "style" as it were, making this a slightly better "read" than the same author's "The court of the Red Tsar" about Stalin's years in power

I'm not going to repeat a lot of facts & snippets from the book that have become apparent since the opening of the Russian archives, alll I'm going to do is urge you to read this book. You will definitely not regret it.
