Broadly speaking, three important areas of debate are examined, united by a focus on political leadership:* The key controversies surrounding Stalin's leadership role* A reconsideration of Stalin and the Cold War* New perspectives on the cult of personalityRevisioning Stalin and Stalinism is a crucial volume for all students and scholars of Stalin's Russia and Cold War Europe.

Recenzii

This useful volume makes a small step toward filling in some of the blanks of a particularly obscure and gruesome period in human history.
Scholars of Stalinism will find much of value in this collection of articles. Addressing topics from the Stalin cult to Red Army purges to the Cold War, the contributors add significantly to our understanding of this critical period in Soviet history.
This edited volume offers a remarkably stimulating and comprehensive discussion of Joseph Stalin's style of political leadership. Without in any way playing down Stalin's role as one of history's great mass murderers, the cast of leading scholars in the field brought together in this volume focus on other elements of his leadership, such as his revolutionary motives and administrative qualities and effectiveness, thus helping us to acquire a more balanced reading of the dictator.
