Review

'This work is intended principally to allow the student and nonspecialist to acquire a reasonably sophisticated grasp of the historiography of the Russian revolution. In this, it succeeds strongly, largely due to a clarity of presentation grounded in the author's strong interpretational grasp.
'Rethinking the Russian Revolution' will likely become standard fare in university classrooms.' Slavic Review
