This fully updated new edition of Sheila Fitzpatrick's classic short history of the Russian Revolution takes into account the new archival and other evidence that has come to light since then, incorporating material that was previously inaccessible not only to Western but also to Soviet historians Fitzpatrick takes the story from the context of 1917, through Stalin's 'revolution from above', to the great purges of the 1930s. She tells a gripping story of a Marxist revolution that was intended to transform the world, visited enormous suffering on the Russian people, and, like the French Revolution before it, ended up by devouring its own children.

Product description

Review

Review from previous edition A lucid and indeed instantly classic explanation of the revolutionary spirit in its pre-1917 and Lenin-then-Stalin dominated stages. (Tribune)

A welcome new edition of this classic history, a triumph of concision and incise analysis by a scholar who knows more than almost anyone about the early years of the Soviet system. (Orlando Figes, Birkbeck College, London, and author of A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution, 1891-1924)

A succinct, insightful, and highly original interpretation of the Russian Revolution as a process of social transformation lasting from 1917 to 1937... Fitzpatrick gives us a challenging rethinking that will shape our discussions for years to come. (Ronald Suny, University of Michigan)

A beautiful little introduction to the topic. This is a fine work for introductory students, as well as for general readers looking for a window into the Russian enigma. (Robert V. Daniels, University of Vermont)

5.0 out of 5 stars great overview
Reviewed in the United States on 14 April 2011
Verified Purchase
This is an overview of the Russian Revolution of 1917 which continued through the great purges of 1938. Fitzpatrick does a good job of giving an overall view of the Russian history of this period. The book was kind of short and therefore didnt allow for much detail or explanations, but I felt it covered a great deal of facts and insight in the few pages. I have read other much larger books that did contain much more information but the purpose of the book is the key to understanding this lack of information. It is only written to give a general outline and brief understanding of what took place.
It was also a very interesting book, which was easy to read. If you are just starting out in Russian Revolution history I feel like this would be a good starting point.
