Wade presents an essential overview of the Russian Revolution from its beginning in February 1917, through the numerous political crises under Kerensky, to the victory of Lenin and the Bolsheviks in the October Revolution. This thoroughly revised and expanded third edition introduces students to new approaches to the Revolution's political history and clears away many of the myths and misconceptions that have clouded studies of the period. It also gives due space to the social history of the Revolution, incorporating people and places too often left out of the story, including women, national minority peoples, peasantry, and front soldiers. The third edition has been updated to include new scholarship on topics such as the coming of the Revolution and the beginning of Bolshevik rule, as well as the Revolution's cultural context. This highly readable book is an invaluable guide to one of the most important events of modern history

This volume offers a comprehensive and original analysis and reconceptualization of the compendium of struggles that wracked the collapsing tsarist empire and the emergent USSR over a decade and that was to have a profound impact upon the history of the twentieth century. Indeed, the reverberations of those wars echo to the present day-not despite, but because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, which has re-opened many old wounds (from the Baltic to Transcaucasia). Contemporary memorializing (and de-memorializing) of these wars, therefore, form part of the works focus, but at its heart are the struggles between various Russian political and military forces (including the Whites) who sought to inherit and preserve (or even expand) the territory of the tsars, overlain with examinations of the attempts of many non-Russian national and religious groupings to divide the former empire. The reasons why some of the latter were successful in their contests with L.D. Trotskys Red Army (Poland and Finland, for example), while others (Ukraine, Georgia and the Muslim Basmachi) were not, are as much the authors concern as are explanations as to why the chief victors of the Russian Civil Wars were the Bolsheviks. Tellingly, the work begins and ends with battles in Central Asia-a theatre of the Russian Civil Wars that was closer to Mumbai than it was to Moscow.
