 | Beria - My Father by Brian Pearce, Francoise Thom, Sergo Beria
Stalin's designated heir was his police chief Lavrenti Beria, who helped Stalin build the famous gulag, or prison system, and who was said to have been as bloodthirsty and sadistic as his leader. After Stalin's death in 1953, Beria's ambitions were thwarted by a cabal led by Khruschev, who did his best to malign Beria's bad name even further. Here, Beria's son, in collaboration with a French scholar, draws on family documents and provides a somewhat revisionist view of his father. AUTHOR: Brian Pearce, Francoise Thom, Sergo Beria
