This study examines one of the key events in history, the Russian
Revolution. Since the late Gorbachev period, a wealth of new
material has become available to historians that has triggered
intense scholarly debate on the nature of revolution. This timely
new book takes account of the new scholarship, including - for
example - the role of Lenin. It is argued that the intial
flexibility of Lenin and the Bolshevik party allowed them to take
power, but that the conduct of both changed considerably once they
were obliged to take steps to maintain their authority. This book
charts the Febuary Revolution, the October Revolution, the Civil
War and the main individuals involved, giving a remarkable degree
of clarity to the tumultuous events in Russia whose consequences
the world lived with for the rest of the twentieth century.
