Ronald Grigor Suny's biography covers Stalin's life from his Georgian childhood through the 1917 revolution, ending before he takes power. It draws on archives opened after the Soviet collapse, including Georgian and Russian sources, to explain how a seminary student became a revolutionary. At 912 pages it is a scholarly, deeply detailed book, heavier going than shorter popular lives like Simon Sebag Montefiore's. It suits readers who want the pre-1917 Stalin in depth rather than a full life in one volume.
