Stalin: A Political Biography, 2nd Edition was written by a Polish Communist journalist named Isaac Deutscher. Deutscher was a follower of Trotsky and had rejected Stalinism in his youth due to his belief that Stalinism could not stop Nazism. The book itself is an interesting account of historical events and people, all in view of Stalin’s life. While Stalin’s brutality and opportunism were not surprising, his difficult early life and slippery rise to power were somewhat surprising. Deutscher’s book initially appears objective due to its faithful account of history; however, it is problematic because it too easily excuses Stalin and gives him too much credit for Soviet advances. This may be due to the author’s admittedly Communist leanings. In sum, the book is worth reading, though it should be read in conjunction with tougher books written after the fall of the Soviet Union, for a fairer account of Stalin.
