The Kravchenko Case: One Man's War on Stalin

Based on the private, unpublished papers of Victor Kravchenko, never before available to researchers and historians; hundreds of FBI documents won after a six-year lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act; and extensive interviews with the defector's sons and associates, The Kravchenko Case tells the story of a man who broke away from the closed Soviet society, defected to America, and then waged a one-man war against Stalin’s dictatorial regime.
