Book Reviews of The Russian Revolution

Book Review: An Articulate and Concise History of the Russian Revolution
Summary: 4 Stars

Sheila Fitzpatrick's "The Russian Revolution" is concise and well-written, making sense out of a very confusing and confused time. She sees the events generally referred to as The Russian Revolution as a series of revolutions, each with its distinct character and players, beginning with the uprisings in 1905, and culminating in Stalin's consolidation of his power with the Great Purges of the 1930's. Professor Fitzpatrick writes clearly and economically, with a dry wit which animates each page. An interesting and lively analysis.
