“A compelling biography of a flawed, larger-than-life man.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“A wonderful introduction to this era in Russian history and a great read for those already familiar with it.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“For readers who regard history as dull, Fleming’s extraordinary book is proof positive that, on the contrary, it is endlessly fascinating, absorbing as any novel, and the stuff of an altogether memorable reading experience.” —Booklist, starred review
“Fleming has outdone herself with this riveting work of narrative nonfiction that appeals to the imagination as much as the intellect.”–The Horn Book, starred review

“With comprehensive source notes and bibliographies of print and online materials, this will be a boon to student researchers, but it’s also a heartbreaking page-turner for YAs who prefer their nonfiction to read like a novel.”–The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, starred review
