Caught In The Revolution by Helen Rappaport
Petrograd, 1917 — A People's History
Drawing on diaries, letters and memoirs, this vivid account reconstructs a crucial stretch of days in Petrograd in 1917, following workers, soldiers, politicians, diplomats and ordinary citizens as strikes, food shortages and street fighting overran daily life. Through intimate eyewitness testimony it traces the collapse of the Provisional Government, the determination of Bolshevik organizers and the bewilderment, hope and fear of people swept up in events, showing how individual choices, chance and mass unrest combined to reshape Russia and reverberate across the world.
