دانلود کتاب Enver Hoxha. The Iron Fist of Albania

Blendi Fevziu’s work is extraordinary. Written like a crime novel, based on unparalleled access to once closed Albanian archives, the book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand communist Europe and how dictatorships get set up and eventually survive. Fevziu succeeds brilliantly in capturing the horrors of Hoxha’s 41 years in power and brings to life many of the voices he silenced. Not only that, given the Hoxha legacy, Fevziu helps us better understand why… Albania’s path to democracy is so difficult. This biography is a major achievement.
‘Based on archival, oral, and published sources, Blendi Fevziu’s Enver Hoxha provides a fascinating, compelling and realistic account of the life and times of Albania’s unremittingly Stalinist dictator and the country he ruled with an iron hand for four decades. This book is a masterful combination of biography and history.’
