Reviews
Winner of the Los Angeles Book Prize for Biography Winner of the Costa Book Award for Biography A Christian Science Monitor and Seattle Times Best Book of the Year "Brilliantly researched. . . . The portrait of Stalin that emerges from these pages is more complete, more colorful, more chilling, and far more convincing than any we have had before." -- The New York Review of Books " Young Stalin is brilliantly readable, as intricately plotted and full of detail as a good novel, scrupulously researched, and full of hitherto unknown (or unreported) facts about Stalin's life." -- Men's Vogue "A meticulously researched, authoritative biography. . . . Mr. Montefiore has found the devil in the details, working his way with a fine-tooth comb through previously unread archival material." -- The New York Times "The most complete, accurate account of the tyrant's early years-a fascinating tale of life in the revolutionary underground, drenched in violence, fear and deceit, filled with a rogue's gallery of bandits, double-agents and terrorists." -- The Seattle Times, "[A] meticulously researched, authoritative biography of Stalin's early years . . . Montefiore offers a detailed picture of Stalin's childhood and youth, his shadowy career as a revolutionary in Georgia and his critical role during the October Revolution. No one, henceforth, need ever wonder how it was that Stalin found his way into Lenin's inner circle, or took his place in the ruling troika that assumed power after the storming of the Winter Palace. . . Montefiore has worked his way with a fine-toothed comb through previously unread archival material in Russia and in Georgia . . . He successfully captures 'the sheer weird singularity of the man' and the lethal instincts that propelled him to the summit of power." William Grimes,The New York Times "The portrait of Stalin that emerges from these pages is more complete, more colorful, more chilling, and far more convincing than any we have had before . . . Montefiore is in a class of his own. As he did forStalin: The Court of the Red Tsar, he has unearthed an unprecedented range of evidence [and] tracked down an astonishing range of witnesses . . . A brilliantly researched book, which finally dispels the myth of the 'grey blur.'" Orlando Figes,New York Review of Books "Once again tapping into a rich vein of material from previously closed archives in Russia and Georgia, Montefiore has produced a portrait of the young Stalin that is as complex and morbidly fascinating as his previous work. In this age of terror, it's also a timely reminder of the terrorist origins of the Bolshevik revolutionaries who would soon unleash mass murder on a previously unimaginable scale." Andrew Nagorski,Newsweek(international edition) "Young Stalinis brilliantly readable, as intricately plotted and full of detail as a good novel, scrupulously researched, and full of hitherto unknown (or unreported) facts about Stalin's life." Michael Korda,Men's Vogue From the Hardcover edition., "Brilliantly researched. . . .

Synopsis
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Romanovs --and one of our pre-eminent historians--comes "a meticulously researched, authoritative biography" ( The New York Times ), the companion volume to the prize-winning Stalin , and essential reading for anyone interested in Russian history. This revelatory account unveils how Stalin became Stalin, examining his shadowy journey from obscurity to power--from master historian Simon Sebag Montefiore. Based on ten years of research, Young Stalin is a brilliant prehistory of the USSR, a chronicle of the Revolution, and an intimate biography. Montefiore tells the story of a charismatic, darkly turbulent boy born into poverty, scarred by his upbringing but possessed of unusual talents. Admired as a romantic poet and trained as a priest, he found his true mission as a murderous revolutionary. Here is the dramatic story of his friendships and hatreds, his many love affairs, his complicated relationship with the Tsarist secret police, and how he became the merciless politician who shaped the Soviet Empire in his own brutal image., This revelatory account unveils how Stalin became Stalin, examining his shadowy journey from obscurity to power--from master historian Simon Sebag Montefiore.
