It is relatively easy to ascertain the underlying meaning behind Milovan Djilas' Conversations With Stalin; when one delves into the depths of what the author is attempting to convey to his audience, one can clearly understand the implications of such a monumental work of historic literature. Indicative of Djilas' title, Conversations With Stalin refers to the personal contact the author had with Stalin, which chronicles the autocratic leader's time in office. Djilas' analysis of Stalin's participation in Russian political history is both significant and poignant in its application; not only does the reader gain considerable insight as to Stalin's intimidating reign, but he also adopts a better understanding of the processes of communism and socialism. The writer offers a critical evaluation of Djilas' book. No additional sources cited.
