Description
The Russian Revolution and Civil War in the years 1917 to 1921 is one of the most widely studied periods in history. It is also somewhat inevitably one that has generated a huge flow of literature in the decades that have passed since the events themselves. However, until now, historians of the revolution have had no dedicated bibliography of the period and little claim to bibliographical control over the literature. The Russian Revolution and Civil War, 1917-1921offers for the first time a comprehensive bibliographical guide to this crucial and fascinating period of history. The Bibliography focuses on the key years of 1917 to 1921, starting with the February Revolution of 1917 and concluding with the 10th Party Congress of March 1921, and covers all the key events of the intervening years. As such it identifies these crucial years as something more than simply the creation of a communist state.

Reviews

'An extraordinary work of unparalleled erudition.' Geoffrey Swain, Slavonic and East European Review
Blurb from reviewer
-
'Smele's bibliography is an outstanding resource that should be on the shelves of every university library.' Michael Hickey, Revolutionary Russia
Blurb from reviewer
-
'This is a most generous undertaking. Smele has built a bibliography on the Russian revolution and civil war, which is vast, perceptively annotated and organized with great intelligence. [His] introduction and style are lucid and witty, his care and precision exemplary a must for any decent library.' Edward Acton, European History Quarterly
