Entrevista a Stalin
Description
In this fascinating book, Javier Fernández Aguado gives voice to the satrap Stalin. In an exhaustive interview, he questions the most paradigmatic communist revolutionary of the 20th century and the second largest serial killer in history. With fine intellectual rigor, not devoid of irony in some passages, the author interrogates a stoic Stalin, revealing his cunning and fanaticism, while unpacking the existence of his predecessor Lenin and the mechanisms that led him to justify detentions, torture, murder, famine, betrayal, etc., all in the name of the presumed sublime interests of the Communist Party. Through a detailed analysis, the author demystifies the image of the communist dictator as a mere bureaucrat. With a critical yet objective approach, he invites readers to reflect on the lessons learned from history and to question totalitarian ideologies.
