Goodreads asked Barbara C. Allen:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Barbara C. Allen For the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, I was asked to translate and annotate leaflets I selected from various socialist parties in 1917. These were published serially on SocialistWorker.org and on John Riddell's blog. There was interest in publishing the leaflets in book form, so I translated other documents about organizing workers' militias and trade unions and compiled these into a book.
