The least known period of Soviet history is at last revealed, by the first major post-Stalin defector. From his experiences at the heart of the USSR's two main centers of power, the State Security apparatus and the Communist Party, Peter Deriabin pieces together the story of an epic power struggle of enormous consequence for the entire world. As a ranking member of this Soviet elite, Deriabin was privy to Kremlin orders and correspondence seen by only a few. Deriabin reveals such secrets as how Stalin was almost removed as Soviet leader when it was discovered he had murdered his wife and the fact that Stalin had eavesdropping equipment installed in Mao Zedong's private quarters and offices. Deriabin's own escape from this nightmare world brings to an exciting conclusion his chilling account of palace intrigue and the brutality of absolute power.
