520    A scholarly, absorbing narrative of Stalin's last days and
       the turbulent wake of his dictatorship. 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 US 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.
