| description | The Russian Revolution of 1917 and the bloody civil war that followed ended in the creation of the world's first communist regime. A story of towering personalities- none more so than the leader of the Bolsheviks, Lenin - the history of the revolution is also one of political intrigue, high-level corruption, foreign military intervention and war on an epic scale. The Russian Revolution explains in a clear, lively manner the rise of internal opposition to the imperial regime of the Romanov dynasty from the 1905 Revolution to the catastrophic years of World War I. The outbreak of armed insurrection in 1917 and the subsequent civil war are analyzed in great detail, while later chapters look at the political and economiccrises which emerged during the aftermath of the Bolshevik victory. The author of The Russian Revolution is Dr John Bradley, an acknowledged expert on the history of Eastern Europe. His vivid text brings the revolutionary era to life and is complemented by over 200 black-and-white and 40 color photographs, many never previously published, and severaleasily understood maps. Together they provide a comprehensive illustrated history of the creation of the Soviet Union which is a must for anyone interested in the turbulent years of the early twentieth century. |
