He was an enigmatic man: when he died The Times estimated that his astonishing personal sway over his followers was equaled only by that of Parnell, the Irish patriot. During the fervor of the South African diamond rush Jameson established a small medical practice in Kimberley in ; it was here that he met and forged a lifelong friendship with Cecil John Rhodes.

Subtitle: The Court of the Red Tsar Author: Simon Sebag Montefiore  Publisher: Phoenix () Edition: First Paperback Edition ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 720 Dimensions: 19.7 x 12.8 x 4.5 cm +++ by Simon Sebag Montefiore +++ The superb Simon Sebag Montefiore offers a composite picture of Stalin in extraordinary detail from his love of literature to his claim to complete amorality. The narcissistic psychopath who killed millions of people is revealed through countless interviews with Stalin's wives, granddaughters and servants. Any biography of a tyrant runs the risk of humanizing its subject to the point of appearing to mitigate his crimes. But Montefiore's intimate portrait actually throws the cold-hearted murderousness with which Stalin pursued and defended power into sharper relief. The book moves smoothly between detailed sketches of everyday life at the Kremlin and accounts of the paranoid and sanguinary scheming that determined Soviet politics. Just as strikingly, Montefiore shows how Stalin, a "master of friendships," used charm to win the support of members of the Party's inner circle.
