Title: Bukharin's letter to Stalin . . .
Review: Probably the single most spectacular thing about this book is Bukharin's incredible personal letter to Stalin on the eve of Bukharin's execution in 1937. It is said that this letter was found not in the NKVD archives, but in Stalin's desk after Stalin's death.When I read Arthur Koestler's "Darkness at Noon" . . . I admired his horrific imaginative creation of the mindset of a character equivalent to Bukharin.Having now read Bukharin's real-life letter, I can only shake my head at how "truth really is stranger than fiction".It's simply too much.
