Putin brought me here.
Excellent and thoroughly researched first volume of a projected three volume biography of Stalin.
Checkout the many interviews with the author on YouTube. Especially the one on Stalin, Putin and autocracy at the Cato Institute a few years ago.

Putin is a product of the Cold War during which he grew up and dreamed of being a spy for the KGB. He is proud of his time as a youthful troublemaker.
This book details his KGB work in East Germany for which he never became a “spy”. He eventually unexpectedly becomes an aid to Yeltsin. He is then essentially annoyed by Yeltsin to be the next President.
