Richard Pipes’s
THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
“Masterful and timely … [Pipes’s] history blends uncannily with today’s … headlines.… A brilliantly focused portrait.”
—Newsweek
“Pipes’s compellingly written account … is … a masterful culmination of his lifelong investigations of the revolutionary period.”
—Newsday
“A truly impressive piece of scholarship … A fascinating treatise, certain to become the basic research text on the subject.”
—Philadelphia Inquirer
“Panoramic … The first attempt in any language to offer a comprehensive study of the Russian Revolution … Pipes is not a mere communicator of facts but a philosopher examining the deeper, broader trends beneath the surface of history.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“Like his illustrious predecessor among students of revolutions, Alexis de Tocqueville, Pipes has a broad, sweeping view.… An imposing achievement … His craftsmanship as a writer … serves him well.”
—
Boston Globe
“Pipes is an extremely knowledgeable and careful historian.… This is probably the best overall study of those momentous events … a good, important book.”
—
