What is The Unknown Stalin about?

From the Introduction: More than a hundred biographies of Stalin have been written in the USSR, in the new Russia and in other countries in the decades following his death in 1953. When Communist Party and state archives began to open after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, yet more books and articles appeared, some examining specific aspects of the Stalin era: industrialization, collectivization, policies during the war, the terror, etc. Some authors have attempted to rehabilitate Stalin and justify his policies. Several pseudo-biographies have also been published, largely based on fictional 'information'. There have been books about Stalin's family, about his daughter Svetlana and his sons, Yakov and Vasily, as well as other relatives. Richard Harris 's novel Archangel was a British bestseller in 1999. Stalin is the central figure in a number of memoirs, often published posthumously, by his close and not so close colleagues, ministers, generals, intelligence officers, interpreters and even his personal servants and bodyguards. In view of this flow of literature about Stalin, the title we have chosen for the present volume, The Unknown Stalin, may seem rather surprising. H
