Appan openly opposes the attacks by Khrushchev and his followers on Stalin. Appan consistently defends Stalin’s views and actions during his whole life as a revolutionary, without making any concessions to the slanders of the bourgeoisie and revisionists. The book is thoroughly footnoted, with references from both bourgeois scholars and Marxist-Leninist sources, making it easy for the interested reader to attain additional information. It covers the period of his childhood and early years as a revolutionary in Georgia in the Caucasus, to his work with Lenin as a leader of the Bolshevik Party and the October Revolution, to his role in directing Soviet society through the period of industrialisation and collectivisation, the Great Patriotic War against Nazi Germany, and the second rebuilding after the war until his death in 1953. Appan has written a very useful book on Stalin. Appan (Prajasakti Book House, Hyderabad, 2001)Ĭde. Review: The Life and Times of Joseph Stalinīy M.R.
