8) "Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar" by Simon Sebag Montefiore

This was a long one, took me almost 3 years on and off to finish it. I had a problem keeping the Russian names straight sometimes, but that's a me issue

Das Buch schildert, wie totalitäre Herrschaft funktioniert. Jede Familie der Hofschranzen war von Stalins Terror betroffen und doch hinderten sie ihn nicht daran oder stürzten ihn.
