Reader Reviews:
Great Introduction (3/3 people found this helpful)
This book gives a great overview of the russian revolution and is an easy and interesting read that serves as a great introductory basis for an A level student or even anyone whose vaguely intrigued by the subject. It is not as overwhelming as other books tend to be, and has a decent structured layout when explaining the different perspectives involved. I only gave it 4 stars because despite the positive factors of the book, it can only be used as gaining an overview and brief knowledge of the events in the russian and although this provides a little and not too complicated understanding,I was expecting more depth. On the whole it was a great book.
Very useful, but not in much depth. (3/4 people found this helpful)
Although this book doesn't go into much depth, it covers the basics of Russia in revolution. There are lots of details on the key events and terms that you need to know for AS/A2 history. The book is divided into 2 parts; AS and A2. There are many summary questions, which are useful in checking you've understood everything. It is especially helpful for the EDEXCEL syllabus.
A great place to start when studying Russia (7/7 people found this helpful)
The book is extremely useful to anyone studing AS level History or to anyone who has an interest in History in general.
The book covers all the important events from the removal of Tsar Nicholas II to the consolidation of Stalin. The information is presented in a very easy and concise style. While as with any short textbook it is limited in its in depth information by its size it is a superb book from which to base your studies.
