MANY
years ago Dr Kogan, chief historian at the State
Department, showed me their secret file of captured
German documents on Yakov Stalin. This showed that Yakov
had been beaten to death in a German P/W camp by British
fellow prisoners, who taunted him because of his callow
eating habits. For reasons of diplomacy the file was kept
closed. I don’t know where it is now. I know nothing of
Milan Kundera.
