About This Item
UK: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1990. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 1st printing. In very good condition with very good unclipped dust jacket free from nicks and tears but with some light handling wear. Boards and interior very clean throughout. With 12 pages of black and white photographs. Vyshinsky was Stalin's most pliable tool in his ruthless war against his enemies, as Prosecutor General of the Supreme Soviet. He insisted that all opposition to Stalin was criminal and on this principle 'purged' academic and professional institutions and presided over Stalin's show trials in the 1930's based on confessions extracted by terror.
