<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From an award-winning scholar comes this definitive, single-volume history that illuminates the tensions and transformations of the Russian Revolution.</b> <p/>In <i>The Russian Revolution</i>, acclaimed historian Sean McMeekin traces the events which ended Romanov rule, ushered the Bolsheviks into power, and introduced communism to the world. Between 1917 and 1922, Russia underwent a complete and irreversible transformation. Taking advantage of the collapse of the Tsarist regime in the middle of World War I, the Bolsheviks staged a hostile takeover of the Russian Imperial Army, promoting mutinies and mass desertions of men in order to fulfill Lenin's program of turning the "imperialist war" into civil war. By the time the Bolsheviks had snuffed out the last resistance five years later, over twenty million people had died, and the Russian economy had collapsed so completely that communism had to be temporarily abandoned. <p/>The first comprehensive history of these momentous events in over two decades, <i>The Russian Revolution</i> combines cutting-edge scholarship and a fast-paced narrative to shed new light on one of the most significant turning points of the twentieth century.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sean McMeekin</b> is a professor of history at Bard College. The award-winning author of several books, including <i>The Russian Revolution, July 1914</i>, and <i>The Ottoman Endgame</i>, McMeekin lives in Clermont, New York.
