Russia

This book explores the tumultuous period in Russia from 1917 to 1921, following the fall of the Tsarist regime. It details the brutal civil war between the White forces, a diverse coalition of moderate socialists and monarchists, and the Red Army led by Lenin and Trotsky. The conflict escalated into a wider international struggle, involving foreign interventions from countries such as Britain, the United States, and Japan. Using recent scholarship and archival evidence, Beevor provides a comprehensive account of this pivotal moment in history marked by violence and political upheaval.
