DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat if the head of the Soviet secret police had kept a diary of his murders and sexual exploits? If published it would cause a scandal. Two journalists have the knowledge and the contacts to put together such a diary, and offer the rights to a publisher in the West for a million dollars in an unnamed Swiss bank account. Secrecy is everything. Featuring spies Philby, Burgess and McClean, drunken dinners in dachas on the Black Sea, and all the excesses of the Aprachiks in the Politbureau, this is an exotic romp through Cold War Russia, with tension high throughout. Allan Williams has made this one of the most sensational thrillers of our time. Spy fiction from the same stable as Ian Fleming's James Bond.

Beria has long symbolized the evils of Stalinism, yet because his political opponents removed his name from public memory after his execution in 1953, little is known of him.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTo many people, Russia remains as enigmatic today as it was during the Iron Curtain era. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country had an opportunity to face its tortured past. Here, Brent asks - why didn't this happen? To answer such a question, he draws on 15 years of unprecedented access to high level Soviet archives. He shows readers a Russia where, in 1992, women sold used toothbrushes on the street to survive, yet now the shops are filled with luxury goods. Brent encounters Stalin's spectre through these changes and takes readers deep inside his archives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Spufford cunningly maps out a literary genre of his own . . . Freewheeling and fabulous." —The Times (London) Strange as it may seem, the gray, oppressive USSR was founded on a fairy tale. It was built on the twentieth-century magic called "the planned economy," which was going to gush forth an abundance of good things that the lands of capitalism could never match. And just for a little while, in the heady years of the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working. Red Plenty is about that moment in history, and how it came, and how it went away; about the brief era when, under the rash leadership of Khrushchev, the Soviet Union looked forward to a future of rich communists and envious capitalists, when Moscow would out-glitter Manhattan and every Lada would be better engineered than a Porsche. It's about the scientists who did their genuinely brilliant best to make the dream come true, to give the tyranny its happy ending. Red Plenty is history, it's fiction, it's as ambitious as Sputnik, as uncompromising as an Aeroflot flight attendant, and as different from what you were expecting as a glass of Soviet champagne.
