This early work by photographer James E Abbe is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains photographs and a travelogue of Abbe's journey through Russia to capture images of Stalin and Russian life. This fascinating work is highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of Russia and its politics in the early twentieth century. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
