Eyewitnesses to the Russian Revolution

This comprehensive chronicle of the Russian Revolution is told through the eyewitness accounts of journalists, political leaders, and ordinary citizens.

More than a century ago, workers and peasants in Russia turned the world upside down when they overthrew their tsar, took over their factories, farms, and schools, and set out to build a new society. In this gripping reader, participants and firsthand observers of the revolution tell the inspiring, heroic, and sometimes tragic story of what happened in Russia over the course of 1917.

Introduced and edited by Todd Chretien, Eyewitnesses to the Russian Revolution includes contributions from Leon Trotsky, Rosa Luxemburg, Vladimir Lenin, John Reed, Louise Bryant, and others.
