Another View of Stalin (http://www.plp.org/books/Stalin/book.html) by Ludo Martens.

I have not read the book personally but I have heard that it is an eye opener for the anti-stalins.

I have tried to read it a couple of times but reading it online is a pain for eyes. Do you know any place from where I can order a hard copy?

I will be thankful.

Please don't tell me you uphold Stalin but not Fidel

So, you don't support Fidel because there were no bourgeois-democratic elections in Cuba, but you uphold Stalin...

I've heard about all I need to hear.

Stalin "built" the material conditions for socialism, Castro didn't, democratization is the next step after industrialization and socialization of the economy, I disagree with Stalin on many issues, but at least he progressed socialism.

It is a good book, but reading on teh screen can be hard on the eyes. You could probably save it all to a disk/CD and get it printed off at a print shop and have it ringbound or put in a folder. I don't believe you can get a hard copy anymore, although it'd be worth contacting the PLP about it as they do print many of the things on their site and may be able to help you obtain a copy.

I would encourage everyone to read this book, even if you don't agree with it you should atleast take the time to listen to the other side of the story.

I am from Pakistan. Its hard to find this book here in printed form. I am trying to get a hold on the printed version.

The Trotskyists have gone so far and become so unreasonable that they even undermine the constructive criticism of Trotsky about the Stalin.

One of my friends told me that he was a firm anti-Stalinist before he read this book. I think, its worth a try then.
