Review
...fairly substantial revision of a lot of the content of this book, and it turns it into a more attractive book to read and to study from. This Third edition is not just a tarted up Second edition, it's a different book.
(SATH Issue 33 )
Product Description
The third edition of this best-selling title provides both a narrative and analysis of the background, course and effects of the 1917 revolution. Beginning with an overview of Imperial Russia and the problems and challenges it faced, it goes on to look at the growth of revolutionary movements which would eventually lead to the October Revolution. It then examines how the Bolsheviks consolidated their power under Lenin. Throughout the book, key dates, terms and issues are highlighted, and historical interpretations of key debates are outlined. Summary diagrams are included to consolidate knowledge and understanding of the period, and exam style questions and tips for each examination board provide the opportunity to develop exam skills.

Whether you are studying the Russian Revolution or just want to gain some knowledge on it, this book is a must have. Michael Lynch clearly explains everything, and does not do what is common in historians, leave you confused. The simplicity of this highly detailed book is something you don't come across often. If you are doing the Russian Revolution for AS or A Level, trust me, this book is your bible!

I've been using this book for my AS course and have found it invaluable. It explains all the polical terms, key figures, key ideals and key events in easily understandable language. Ideal if you're new to political history and terms.

Format:Paperback
R&R was a book on my book list for my History A level on Russia. I read it, and as a student I found it the most helpful book I have got (and I've got plenty!). It sets out clearly and in understandable language the events of the Revolution, as well as providing an insight to why this event occured. The only problem I have found is the fact that sometimes events are not linked back to/explained/remind you if they are futher on in the book, but this can be remidied by using the index! R&R is also suitable if you are simply interested in the period of time; it is comprehensive and intelligent, whilst not alienating the reader with technical historical jargon. For students and the interested alike, I would recomend ANY of the 'access to history' books (which R&R is part of); we use them all the time & and they are by far the comprehensivly written, and a lot cheaper than most other history textbooks (which is, of course, an important factor for poor students!). I would also recommend "A People' Tradedy - The Russian Revolution" by Orlando Figes. It takes a bit of time to go through (about 2" thick), but provides an insight to the actual people, with testimonies from the people, which R&R, being a thin book (only 150 pages) lacks.
