The Bolsheviks Come to Power is one of the most important histories
of the Russian Revolution to challenge the mainstream narratives.
Originally published to great acclaim in 2004, this new edition
marks the 100th anniversary of one of the explosive and
game-changing moments in modern times. In this absorbing narrative,
Alexander Rabinowitch counters the claims by mainstream historians
that the revolution was a military coup led by Lenin and a small
band of fanatics. He refutes the Soviet myth that the party's
triumph in the October Revolution was inevitable, and explains the
ebbs and flows of the revolutionary period, tracing the moods of
the working class and the political positions of the Bolsheviks at
different historical moments, including the immediate aftermath of
the February Revolution, the July Days, the Kornilov affair, and up
to and including the October Revolution itself. Drawn from a wealth
of primary sources and archival material, this new edition of
Rabinowitch's classic account is a must-have for anyone interested
in clearing away the tired platitudes of mainstream historians, and
reclaiming the revolution on this important anniversary.
