Stalin didn’t write his own memoir. He did write some books about politics but they weren’t personal. He didn’t like to advertise his Georgian origins.

The best biographies were written after the Cold War ended and historians had access to government files. The best one I’ve seen is Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar, by Simon Sebag Montefiore.

thank you

Hi there. Per rule 3.3, please post book recommendation requests in /r/SuggestMeABook or in our Weekly Recommendation Thread. Thank you!

Presumably he was just using Mein Kampf as a shorthand for "autobiography and ideological treatise by a dictator".
