Stephen Kotkin is a very learned man. He is professor at Princeton University. He is a fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. Much more important is the fact that he sounds remarkably like Joe Pesci.
He has also written a multi-volume biography of Josepth Stalin. The first volume is on sale for $2.99 at Amzaon.com.
Stalin: Paradoxes of Power, 1878-1928
The Audible version, unfortunately, is not read by Joe Pesci.
