A major contribution to our knowledge of Soviet politics. -- Robert Service, The Times Literary Supplement, "This smoothly written book is laudable, not just for its speculation on the Beria that might have been, but also for its naked portrait of the Beria that was." ---David Gordon, Newsweek, International Edition, Beria is ripe for revisionism.

"A milestone, an invaluable achievement, the natural heir to Leggett's history of the Cheka."--John le Carré "This first full-scale scholarly biography of the clever, cruel, domineering security chief whom Stalin once called 'my Himmler' casts valuable new light on various events of the Stalin period and its early aftermath."--Robert Tucker, Professor Emeritus, Princeton University
Synopsis
Lavrentii Beria has long symbolized all the evils of Stalinism, haunting the public imagination both in the West and in the former Soviet Union. This is a biography of Lavrentii Beria, Stalin's notorious police chief and for many years his most powerful lieutenant., This is the first comprehensive biography of Lavrentii Beria, Stalin's notorious police chief and for many years his most powerful lieutenant. Beria has long symbolized all the evils of Stalinism, haunting the public imagination both in the West and in the former Soviet Union. Yet because his political opponents expunged his name from public memory after his dramatic arrest and execution in 1953, little has been previously published about his long and tumultuous career.
