The Russian Revolution seized a backward, violent, peasant country and turned it into the world's first "worker's state". This book utilizes newly-opened files in Moscow and other cities to find explanations for the violence and the uncontrolled use of power to which the events led. It examines the nightmare years, including the long civil war that ended in 1923.
