Description

This book provides a comprehensive bibliography of English language literature on what was arguably, the most important historical event of the 20th century. It brings together the multitude of monographs, articles and dissertations on various aspects of the Russian Revolution that have been published from 1905 to mid-1994. While the bibliography conceives the Revolution as the period of transition from tsarist Russia to Soviet Russia, a process that occurred between 1905 and 1921, it seeks not only to list works central to that process but to list all works relevant to that period of Russian history. The bibliography contains 24 thematic sections covering all subjects from politics and society, to education and the arts. Thus, there are categories devoted not only to the tsarist establishment and the Red Army, but to science and technology during the revolutionary years. Most of the thematic sections have subsections which seek to divide the history of the Russian Revolution into its component parts in a manner that will be familiar to specialists and accessible to students. There are indexes of authors and subjects, as well as a detailed list of contents.

It is hard to think of a relevant author or work that has not been included in this compilation... This is a work that most libraries with serious coverage of Russian or even simply general world history will want to acquire, for it places in the researcher's hands an ample survey of the work done to date on a key historical event.-College & Research Libraries
