Eyewitnesses to the Russian Revolution
About this book
100 years ago, workers and peasants in Russia turned the world upside down when they overthrew their Tsar, took over their factories, farms, and schools, and set out to build a new society. In this gripping reader participants and firsthand observers of the revolution tell the inspiring, heroic, and sometimes tragic story of what happened over the course of 1917.
