About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf; A Borzoi Book, 1990. Cloth, xxiv, 944 pages, illustrations, map; 25 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Dust jacket, with light shelfwear, protected in a mylar cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. Ground-breaking in its inclusiveness, 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 already aroused great controversy in this country-and that are certain to be explosive when the book is published in the Soviet Union. 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.'" - Publisher.. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. 8vo.
