Lots of walking around and listening to Russians yell at each other. I just couldn't. ( )

WOW! This book was fantastic. It read like an adventure novel, plus put a bunch of meetings and voting all through it. As a parliamentary wonk I loved it, not sure how the general public would get into it.

I learned more about the Russian revolution just reading the publisher's introduction than I did in 16 years of school, including a BS in political science. School made it seem like the Communists overthrew the Czar in one fell swoop, except my one Conservative professor who frequently reminded us that the Communists overthrew a democratically elected government. Of course there were actually MANY Russian revolutions. This was of the last one, the "October" revolution that took Lenin to power.

Reed did what so few hisorical authors can do, make me want to read even more books about the subject because you made the subject so fascinating. ( )
