Rupert Butler charts Stalin's use of the re-named NKVD to carry out the purges of the 1930s in which millions were arrested and ended their lives in forced-labour camps. This book looks at the organisation of the state's secret police in Russia during this time, its units within the Red Army, and the special prisons.
