The Russian revolutions of 1917 and ensuing civil war set in motion events that are still resonating in the country today. Accessing a vast range of sources, including accounts by famine survivors, Bolshevik veterans and White Army officers, Beevor details how the alliance of reactionary monarchists and moderate socialists failed to stop the ascent of the Soviets, with their promise of peace, land and bread for the people.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'The book is a masterpiece' The Spectator 'A gripping narrative history of one of the most complex episodes in modern Russian history' Sunday Times 'Antony Beevor's Russia is a masterpiece of history' Daily Telegraph Between 1917 and 1921 a devastating struggle took place in Russia following the collapse of the Tsarist empire. Many regard this savage civil war as the most influential event of the modern era. An incompatible White alliance of moderate socialists and reactionary monarchists stood little chance against Trotsky's Red Army and Lenin's single-minded Communist dictatorship. Terror begat terror, which in turn led to even greater cruelty with man's inhumanity to man, woman and child. The struggle became a world war by proxy as Churchill deployed weaponry and troops from the British empire, while armed forces from the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Poland and Czechoslovakia played rival parts. Using the most up to date scholarship and archival research, Antony Beevor, author of the acclaimed international bestseller Stalingrad, assembles the complete picture in a gripping narrative that conveys the conflict through the eyes of everyone from the worker on the streets of Petrograd to the cavalry officer on the battlefield and the woman doctor in an improvised hospital. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR012298110
