I read this book when I was in the ninth grade. I did not like it. It is full of conspiracy theories and garbage. For example the author claims that the USSR was planning to attack Germany first without producing any documents supporting his claim directly, only his own interpretation of the documents. He also focuses on Stalin's alleged anti-Semitism. I do not agree that Stalin was anti-Semitic. Even though he murdered many Jews in the USSR's government, he basically replaced them with other Jews, like Lazar Kaganovich. His Foreign Commissar Molotov, although Gentile, had a Jewish wife named Polina Zhemchuzina who had an American brother who was a businessman named Sam Karp. He claims Stalin was murdered by the Jews because he was allegedly planning to quarantine the Jews to Siberia right before he died, again without providing much evidence. It has been claimed that Stalin's mistress was a Jew named Rosa Kaganovich, Lazar's sister, and it is certainly true that many in his government were Jews, so I find this difficult to believe. If Stalin was murdered the Jews did not have anything to do with it. Peter Myers has said on his website that Stalin rejected a plan proposed to him by representatives of the United States to create a world government, I think that would be more likely to be the motive for his murder, not anything to do with Jewry. Radzinsky also falsifies information in his book. He claims that a banner representing the Virgin Mary was used by the Red Army during World War II. A reviewer on amazon pointed out this is false. In addition he says the USA lost China to Stalin, but actually Stalin had preferred Chiang Kai-Shek to Mao initially, and Mao and the Bolsheviks never did get along. So this book was full of inaccuracies, conspiracy theories, and half truths. It was not very good.
