Synopsis

Few events have provoked fiercer or more highly politicized historical controversy than the Russian Revolution. Edward Acton's stimulating new study combines an introduction to the momentous events of 1917 with an analysis of the controversy. As well as allowing an evaluation of a broad spread of traditional interpretations, his approach brings home the full implications of recent "revisionist" work and the radical reinterpretation of the revolution to which it points.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This work is intended principally to allow the student and nonspecialist to acquire a reasonably sophisticated grasp of the historiography of the Russian revolution. In this, it succeeds strongly, largely due to a clarity of presentation grounded in the author's strong interpretational grasp. 'Rethinking the Russian Revolution' will likely become standard fare in university classrooms. (Slavic Review)
