The Commissar vanishes : the falsification of photographs and art in Stalin's Russia
King, David, 1943-1997

King looks at how Stalin manipulated the science of photography to further his own political career and to erase the memory of his victims. In each case, the juxtaposition of original and doctored images reveals how easily history can be distorted.
