"Stalin : At The Court Of The Red Tsar" by Simon Sebag Montefiore. Doing this as an audiobook. Not my first exposure to the History of that period. Just as awful as it was when I first came across the horrors of how the revolution devoured its children.

I finished this book quite interesting about his life, but very glad it was not longer.
