HISTORY. "The revolution that exploded in Russia during the last months of 1917 has continued to affect the entire world. In this magnificent narrative, Moorehead recreates the revolution and the years that led up to it as a moment-to-moment experience of almost excruciating intensity. As drama, THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION is tremendous. As narrative it is a masterpiece of organization and lucidity. Mr. Moorehead's exposition of the true nature of the Bolshevik rise to power leaves no doubt in our minds of its impact on succeeding decades.
