By far the most important academic study of 1917
*Kevin Murphy*
...I know of no previous work which has so skillfully presented the
fluctuating state of the mood of the 'masses' in the Russian
capital in those fateful months.
*The New York Review of Books*
The Bolsheviks Come To Power remains the best book on the 1917
Russian revolution–a seminal study of events that shaped history
for decades and continues to do so even today. Both political and
social history, it greatly expands on our detailed knowledge of the
turbulent events of that year, while deepening and revising our
understanding of the Bolshevik Party and the social factors that
brought it to power.
*Stephen F. Cohen, New York University*
