A review by mulveyr
A Concise History of the Russian Revolution by Richard Pipes
4.0
A very readable summary of the political and cultural events leading up to the Russian Revolution, as well as the internal workings of the Bolsheviks up until the Stalin era.
The text flows well, and the various supporting documentation supports the author's position. However, it's quite clear that the author has a distinct conservative bias ( at least as defined by contemporary Americans ) and that bleeds over into the book a little too frequently.
Overall though, it's well worth the time.
