Book, Russian Revolution, A[LS]

The book leaves aside ideological indoctrinations and manages to unravel the events of this key event of the 20th century for both experts and laypeople. One hundred years later, the Russian Revolution continues to be considered a decisive event for understanding the 20th century and the times in which we live. It led to the establishment of the communist regime, paved the way for the creation of the Soviet Union and shaped much of global geopolitics. With erudition and clarity, Sheila Fitzpatrick, one of the greatest authorities on the subject, narrates the saga of the Marxist revolution that sought to overthrow the Tsar and thus dreamed of transforming Russia and the world. The Russian Revolution now arrives in a revised and updated edition by the author, shedding new light on a key event in modern history.
