The Russian Revolution by Alan Moorehead
A vivid, compact narrative history that traces the social, political, and military forces that toppled the Romanov dynasty and enabled the Bolsheviks to seize power in 1917, placing the revolution within the wider context of World War I, economic collapse, and popular unrest; it follows the collapse of the provisional government, the rivalries and strategies of leaders such as Kerensky and Lenin, the mass movements in Petrograd and the countryside, and the chaotic months of strikes, soviets, and armed insurrection, before outlining the ensuing civil war and the far-reaching consequences that remade Russia and shaped the twentieth century.
