The book goes on from there, right through Stalin's early childhood, him and his mother getting badly physically abused by his father (nicknamed in the village "Crazy Beso") right up to Stalin's numerous exiles in the frozen, deadly lands of Siberia and finishes off just after the October 1917 Revolution had succeeded in bringing Lenin to power and Stalin to the beginning of his job of attaining power in Russia. The Author starts from the very beginning, even before Stalin was born and gives a brief insight (brief due to lack of records that still exist) of Stalin's mother and fathers life just before they got married. Born in the brutal clannish, gangster fuelled Georgian town of "Gori", one of the then Russian Empires most lawless places, Joseph Stalin even as a child was cunning, strong willed and very intelligent, excelling in his studies but also in other, activities such as choir singing and poetry. This book sets out the early life of Joseph Stalin better than maybe any other book around.
