The Russian Revolution of February 1917 by Marc Ferro presents a rigorous and masterfully detailed account of this seismic turning point, chronicling the spontaneous uprising of workers and soldiers in Petrograd that toppled the Tsar and irrevocably altered the course of the twentieth century. Translated by J. L. Richards, Ferro's narrative reconstructs the chaotic days of February with a historian's precision and a storyteller's urgency, drawing on a vast array of sources to illuminate how a regime once thought indestructible crumbled from within.\n\nFerro argues with compelling authority that the February Revolution was not a planned coup but a genuine social eruption, born of war-weariness, inequality, and institutional rot — a distinction that carries enormous weight when understanding the Bolshevik seizure of power that followed mere months later. His analytical framework cuts through the ideological fog that so often obscures revolutionary history, situating the February events within the deep structures of Russian society, economics, and imperial decline. A landmark work of twentieth-century historiography, this study leaves the reader with an arresting question: if February was so spontaneous and so total, was October — and all that came after — truly inevitable?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130982637787,"sku":"2026200012684-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2838c70a-829a-4ea2-9472-e028bde5bb8a.png?v=1786593624","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012684-secondhand-the-russian-revolution-of-february-1917","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
