Lenin's Revolution

Seminar Studies in History

by David R. Marples

This is an essential short guide to the Russian Revolution . Books in this "Seminar Studies in History Series" bridge the gap between textbook and general survey and consists of a brief "Introduction" and/or "Background" to the subject, valuable in bringing the reader up-to-speed on the area being examined, followed by a substantial and authoritative section of "Analysis" focusing on the main themes and issues. There is a succinct "Assessment" of the subject, a generous selection of "Documents" and a detailed bibliography. Taking into account the wealth of new information since the collapse of the Soviet Union, David Marples examines the February Revolution, the October Revolution, the Civil War and includes an exploration of the role women played during these momentous events. For those interested in Russian history.
