Originally published in 1987. In March 1917 young Joseph Stalin, already a high-ranking Bolshevik, returned from Siberian exile in search of greatness and power. But his activities during the months leading up to the October Revolution were full of blunders and misjudgments—failures that in later years Stalin obliterated from the historical record. Stalin in October reassembles the history of 1917 and explains why, on the eve of the revolutionaries' seizure of power, Stalin seemingly dropped out of the picture. "He would always be dogged," Slusser writes, "by a nagging sense of having somehow missed the revolution." The lingering shame was crucial to Stalin's development into a Soviet dictator.

Terms of sale
We guarantee the condition of every book as it's described on the Abebooks web sites. If you're dissatisfied with your purchase (Incorrect Book/Not as Described/Damaged) or if the order hasn't arrived, you're eligible for a refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date.

Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 6 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may request extra shipping charges. We usually use US "Media" Mail as it is much cheaper than UPS although we will follow any specific instructions. NOTE: The US postal service regrettably does not offer surface mail. Therefore the average book [weighing more than 1 lb.] will cost $24-$39 for postage abroad (a bit less for Canada) depending on the country. It's an outrageous amount but we are at the mercy of the USPS. Federal Express and DHL are twice as much.
