A groundbreaking, inclusive history of the Russian Revolution for "those who want to discover what really happened to Russia" ( The New York Times Book Review ) A "monumental study" ( Wall Street Journal ), enthralling in its narrative of a movement whose purpose, in the words of Leon Trotsky, was "to overthrow the world," The Russian Revolution draws conclusions that have aroused great controversy. Richard Pipes argues convincingly that the Russian Revolution was an intellectual, rather than a class, uprising; that it was steeped in terror from its very outset; and that it was not a revolution at all but a coup d'etat-"the capture of governmental power by a small minority."
