Stalin and His Hangmen by Donald Rayfield is subtitled The Tyrant And Those Who Killed For Him. Stalin did not act alone in his mock trials, secret torture, executions and more that occurred during his 3 decades of dictatorship. They were the results of his henchmen and women, spies, and thugs. At the top of this group sat 5 indispensable hangmen who presided over the secret police. In this book the author probes into the lives, minds and twisted careers, along with the unpublished crimes of Stalin's loyalists. It is a chilling drama of how Stalin and his loyal worked to coerce intellectuals, artists, writers, scientists and more, ultimately destroying those caught in his web. The author also argues that this pattern of intimidation did not die with Stalin. It can be seen yet today.
