Russia: Revolution and Civil War, 1917-1921

byAntony Beevor

Between 1917 and 1921 a devastating struggle took place in Russia following the collapse of the Tsarist empire. Using archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, Russia moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Russia within history, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how the revolution and civil war, 1917-1921 continues to shape the present.
