Stalin's Great Terror has long exercised a fascination for the historian and the general public. This is the first English language monograph on the subject for nearly 20 years. The Great Fear presents a new and original explanation of the Stalin's Terror based on intelligence materials in Russian archives. It shows how Soviet leaders developed a grossly exaggerated fear of conspiracy and foreign invasion and lashed out at enemies largely of their own

making. It is written in a lively an engaging prose that should appeal to readers of popular history as well as to an academic audience.
