I started his Stalin book hoping it would be a biography, but it felt like more of a historiography. It was talking about Trosky's criticism of Stalin and Kruschev's de-Stalinization and I wasn't really into it. Not that it seemed like bad history but it wasn't interesting or compelling from what I read.
It’s not a biography in any shape or form, that wasn’t Losurdos goal. He specifically criticises how Stalin is portrayed in media and history.
yeah I mean its in the sub-title. History and Critique of a Black Legend
