Honestly was not a big fan of this book. Though I have to give the author some credit since this was published in 1953 and was only the beginning of Malenkov's reign as the Soviet premiere. Throughout the book, there were just a myriad of assumptions and theories that overshadowed factual details of Malenkov's life. For example the assumptions on Malenkov's father (his father passed when he was 3), and then the whole chapter on sex which was essentially a terrible filler for God knows what reason.
