A new account of the conflict that reshaped Eastern Europe and set the stage for the rest of the twentieth century.
What The Reviewers Say
It seems wrong to categorise this book as military history. It is like reading a film.
Beevor strips away the misty romanticism that once surrounded the revolution.
[Beevor] is a wonderfully lucid writer who marshals the extensive material with great verve and understanding.
... does not break any new ground or offer any new perspective, and it fits squarely within the latest historiography. He gives scant attention to the causes that led to the February Revolution in 1917, dispatching the reign of Nicholas II in fewer than 20 pages.
