Description for Stalin's Police
Hagenloh's vivid and monumental account is the first to show how Stalin's peculiar brand of policing-in which criminals, juvenile delinquents, and other marginalized population groups were seen increasingly as threats to the political and social order-supplied the core mechanism of the Great Terror. Num Pages: 480 pages, black & white tables. BIC Classification: 1DVU; 3JJG; HBJD; HBLW; JPVR. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 236 x 166 x 35.
