Stalin: A Biography is a biography of Joseph Stalin written by Robert Service. It was published in 2004.[1]
For his research, Service traveled to Abkhazia, where Stalin's dacha was located during the 1930s.[2]
The book describes Stalin's life, covering in detail his youth, rise to power, and rule. According to the publisher, it uses a personal style that "humanizes Stalin without ever diminishing the extent of the atrocities he unleashed upon the Soviet population."[1]
