In the summer of 1941, Harry Hopkins, Franklin Roosevelt's trusted advisor, arrived in Moscow to assess whether the U.S. should send aid to Russia as it had to Britain. And unofficially he was there to determine whether Josef Stalin --- the man who had starved four million Ukrainians to death in the early 1930s, another million in the purges of the late 1930s, and a further million in the labor camps of the Gulag --- was worth saving. Hopkins sensed that saving Stalin was going to be a treacherous business. In SAVING STALIN, John Kelly chronicles the turbulent wartime relationship between Britain, America and the Soviet Union with a unique focus on unknown and unexplored aspects of the story.
