520 2  "Joshua Rubenstein's riveting account takes us back to the
       second half of 1952 when no one could foresee an end to 
       Joseph Stalin's murderous regime. He was poised to 
       challenge the newly elected U.S. President Dwight 
       Eisenhower with armed force, and was also broadening a 
       vicious campaign against Soviet Jews. Stalin's sudden 
       collapse and death in March 1953 was as dramatic and 
       mysterious as his life. It is no overstatement to say that
       his passing marked a major turning point in the twentieth 
       century. The Last Days of Stalin is an engaging, briskly 
       told account of the dictator's final active months, the 
       vigil at his deathbed, and the unfolding of Soviet and 
       international events in the months after his death. 
       Rubenstein throws fresh light on: the devious plotting of 
       Beria, Malenkov, Khrushchev, and other 'comrades in arms' 
       who well understood the significance of the dictator's 
       impending death; the witness-documented events of his 
       death as compared to official published versions; Stalin's
       rumored plans to forcibly exile Soviet Jews; the responses
       of Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles to the 
       Kremlin's conciliatory gestures after Stalin's death; and 
       the momentous repercussions when Stalin's regime of terror
       was cut short"--|cProvided by publisher.
