audiobook Myths and Legends of the Sioux (Large Print Edition) by Marie L. McLaughlin in History

Description

This study examines one of the key events in history; the Russian Revolution. Since the late Gorbachev period; a wealth of new material has become available to historians that has triggered intense scholarly debate on the nature of revolution. This timely new book takes account of the new scholarship; including - for example - the role of Lenin. It is argued that the intial flexibility of Lenin and the Bolshevik party allowed them to take power; but that the conduct of both changed considerably once they were obliged to take steps to maintain their authority. This book charts the Febuary Revolution; the October Revolution; the Civil War and the main individuals involved; giving a remarkable degree of clarity to the tumultuous events in Russia whose consequences the world lived with for the rest of the twentieth century.
