Review:
I enjoyed reading this book, and actually finished it, which I often do not manage with books of this length. I thought it started off really well, and the last 100 pages or so were really good, but I struggled around the middle. I have been fascinated by Russian history for a long time, so had a reasonable, if somewhat rusty, knowledge of the background. If you were completely unfamiliar with the period, I suspect there would not be enough background information to really put things into context. I hesitate to order the earlier work by the same author, as it is even longer, and reviews suggest it does not read as well as this one. Although there are plenty of pictures, I would have liked even more. Particularly of some of the other prominent Bolsheviks, like Kamenev and Zinoviev etc. A good read, but probably not the best starting point from which to approach Russian history.
