"\"For this book a distinguished team of economists and historians -- R.W. Davies, Paul R. Gregory, Andrei Markevich, Mikhail Mukhin, Andrei Sokolov, and Mark Harrison -- scoured formerly closed Soviet archives to discover how Stalin used rubles to make guns.

Previously unknown details about Stalin's command system come to light, as do fascinating insights into the relations between Soviet public and private interests.
