About this title

Synopsis

On January 13, 1953, a stunned world learned that a vast conspiracy among Jewish doctors to murder Kremlin leaders had been unmasked. Mass arrests quickly followed. The Doctors' Plot, as this action came to be called, was Stalin' s last great criminal conspiracy. In the 50 years since Stalin' s death many myths have grown up about the Doctors' Plot. Did Stalin himself invent the conspiracy against the Jewish doctors or was it engineered by subordinates who wished to eliminate Kremlin rivals? Was Stalin intending a purge of all Jews that might lead to a Soviet Holocaust? How was this plot related to the Cold War then raging in Europe and the hot war in Korea? Finally, was the Doctors' Plot connected with Stalin' s fortuitous death? Authors Brent and Naumov have explored an astounding array of previously unknown, top-secret documents from the KGB and other state and party archives in order to probe the mechanism of one of Stalin' s greatest conspiracies-- and tell for t first time the incredible full story of the Doctors' Plot.
