Crowned as the British Book Awards History Book of the Year and shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize, this riveting account of Stalin and his inner circle during his reign of terror revolutionises our perception of the Soviet tyrant, Marxist leader, and Russian autocrat. Drawing from unprecedented research, Simon Sebag Montefiore unveils a gripping narrative that exposes the fear, treachery, opulence, and depravity that permeated Stalin's clandestine realm.

Penned with remarkable flair, this scholarly tour de force has cemented its place as a modern historical masterpiece. Montefiore deftly illustrates how Stalin's triumphs and atrocities were born from his unwavering Marxist ideology and his complex, flawed personality. The result is an intimate portrayal of a man as multifaceted and human as he was ruthless and chilling.

This captivating biography offers readers a window into the terrifying decades of Stalin's absolute power, shedding light on the intricate dynamics of his family life and the merciless cruelty that defined his rule. 'Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar' is an essential read for those seeking to unravel the enigma of one of history's most infamous dictators.

We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages.
