From the publisher: Often the drama of the October Revolution and the Bolshevik seizure of power overshadow the disastrous Russian-German war that preceded it, and the extended, confusing, many-sided civil war between the Reds and the Whites that followed. But Nik Cornish’s photographic history gives equal coverage to each of these momentous events and shows how the Russian empire of the Romanovs was turned into the Soviet Union.
Leading characters — Czar Nicholas II, Kerensky, Lenin, Trotsky, Denikin, Kolchak, Wrangel, and others — are pictured. But also seen are civilian crowds on city streets, peasants in villages, and common soldiers on all sides.
FSM says: An introduction to a crucial era in Russian history: Photos give glimpses of the uniforms, weapons, and various settings to inform modeling pursuits in this timeframe.
