The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Beria by Amy Knight Lavrentii Beria has long symbolized all the evils of Stalinism, haunting the public imagination both in the West and in the former Soviet Union. This is a biography of Lavrentii Beria, Stalin's notorious police chief and for many years his most powerful lieutenant. FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description This is the first comprehensive biography of Lavrentii Beria, Stalin's notorious police chief and for many years his most powerful lieutenant. Beria has long symbolized all the evils of Stalinism, haunting the public imagination both in the West and in the former Soviet Union. Yet because his political opponents expunged his name from public memory after his dramatic arrest and execution in 1953, little has been previously published about his long and tumultuous career. Notes A milestone, an invaluable achievement, the natural heir to Leggett's history of the Cheka. -- John le Carre This first full-scale scholarly biography of the clever, cruel, domineering security chief whom Stalin once called 'my Himmler' casts valuable new light on various events of the Stalin period and its early aftermath. -- Robert Tucker, Professor Emeritus, Princeton University Back Cover "A milestone, an invaluable achievement, the natural heir to Leggett's history of the Cheka." --John le Carr "This first full-scale scholarly biography of the clever, cruel, domineering security chief whom Stalin once called 'my Himmler' casts valuable new light on various events of the Stalin period and its early aftermath." --Robert Tucker, Professor Emeritus, Princeton University Flap "A milestone, an invaluable achievement, the natural heir to Leggett's history of the Cheka."-- John le Carr "This first full-scale scholarly biography of the clever, cruel, domineering security chief whom Stalin once called 'my Himmler' casts valuable new light on various events of the Stalin period and its early aftermath."-- Robert Tucker, Professor Emeritus, Princeton University Author Biography Amy Knight is a Senior Research Analyst at the Library of Congress and a former Woodrow Wilson Fellow. She is also the author of The KGB: Police and Politics in the Soviet Union. Table of Contents "A milestone, an invaluable achievement, the natural heir to Leggett's history of the Cheka."--John le Carr Review "This smoothly written book is laudable, not just for its speculation on the Beria that might have been, but also for its naked portrait of the Beria that was."--David Gordon, Newsweek, International Edition "The first serious book-length study of Beria's public career... Knight's staidness and deliberation bring a refreshing change of approach... A major contribution to our knowledge of Soviet politics."--Robert Service, The Times Literary Supplement "Beria is ripe for revisionism. The danger is that too much can be made of Beria's relative liberalism... Amy Knight does not fall into this trap. Hers is a strictly political biography and a very good one."--Simon Sebag Montefiore, The [London] Times Promotional A milestone, an invaluable achievement, the natural heir to Leggett's history of the Cheka. -- John le Carre This first full-scale scholarly biography of the clever, cruel, domineering security chief whom Stalin once called 'my Himmler' casts valuable new light on various events of the Stalin period and its early aftermath. -- Robert Tucker, Professor Emeritus, Princeton University Long Description This is the first comprehensive biography of Lavrentii Beria, Stalin's notorious police chief and for many years his most powerful lieutenant.
