Renowned historian Karl Schlogel reconstructs with meticulous care the process through which, month by month, the terrorism of a state-of-emergency regime spiraled into the 'Great Terror' during which 1 million human beings lost their lives within a single year. He revisits the sites of show trials and executions and consults numerous sources from the time to provide a masterful panorama of these key events.
