About This Book

The author delivers a first-hand account of Russia's 1917 upheavals, combining on-the-scene reportage, interviews, and political analysis. She narrates street demonstrations, the July Days, and clashes between Bolsheviks, provisional government forces and the Red Guard; profiles key figures including Kerensky, Rasputin's murder, and activists such as Mareea Botchkareva and Emmeline Pankhurst; describes the mobilization of women into combat units, committee rule, urban shortages, and famine conditions; examines national aspirations, military morale, and the German threat; and concludes by assessing Russia's urgent social and logistical needs while posing questions about possible political outcomes.
