Beria's Struggle in Warning Stalin
This chapter delves into the delicate and perilous position that Baria, the USSR's spymaster, finds himself in as he tries to warn Stalin about the imminent German invasion. It describes Baria's dismissive attitude towards warnings, his fear of disagreeing with Stalin, and the disastrous consequences that follow. The narrative also explores the initial days of Operation Barbarossa, Beria's denouncement as a traitor, Stalin's mental state in the aftermath of the invasion, and the rise of Beria in power during World War II.
