The Outfit: The Absolutely True Story of the Time Joseph Stalin Robbed a Bank (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781781089859)

The absolutely true story of the biggest, bloodiest and most daring bank robbery in Georgia's history, orchestrated by none other than Joseph Stalin himself...

Lies and double-crosses, secret police and explosions, a carriage chase, a mattress stuffed with cash and a one-eyed master of disguise...

In 1907, the revolutionary Joseph Djugashvili - who would later take the name Joseph Stalin - met with an old friend, a clerk at the Tiflis branch of the State Bank of the Russian Empire, for a glass of milk. Over talk of national pride, the spirit of the new century and Djugashvili's poetry, they agreed the beginnings of a plan.

With the aid of the Outfit, Djugashvili's hardened crew of "expropriators," they would pull off the biggest, bloodiest and most daring robbery in Georgia's history, and ruthlessly change the direction of the Bolshevik revolution forever...
