Synopsis

This book, set during the Russian Revolution, draws on the author's first-hand experiences during the five days of unrest that brought down the Tsarist regime. The author had an insider's perspective, spending these turbulent days either on the streets with the rioting crowds or in his Petrograd office in the epicentre of the fighting. These unique vantage points, along with his friendships amongst key figures in the Duma and Revolutionary Committee, allow him to accurately chronicle the pivotal events of this period. He reveals the human cost, the bravery and restraint shown by the populace, and the deep-seated problems within Russian society that led to revolution. By assessing the actions and motivations of the key figures involved, he examines the country's political and social landscape, concluding that the Revolution's true significance lay in its potential to bring about a more just and equitable Russia.
