Unrivalled and wholly immersive, Orlando Figes's A People’s Tragedy is a panorama of Russian society on the eve of the revolution and the story of its violent erasure.
100th Anniversary Edition Includes New Introduction
In this acclaimed account, Figes follows workers, soldiers and peasants as their world is consumed by revolution. For what had started as a people’s revolution contained the seeds of its degeneration into violence and dictatorship.
A People’s Tragedy is a masterful and definitive record of the Russian Revolution – vast in scope, exhaustive in original research and written with passion, narrative verve and human sympathy.
