Guide Review - Three Whys Of The Russian Revolution by Richard Pipes
Three Whys is a challenging examination of both Revolutionary Russia and modern historical thought. If you've never read anything about the Russian Revolution before you might get lost, but if you have Three Whys will certainly begin to alter your views, racing through a series of events you thought you knew, but leaving them all pointing in slightly different directions. You'll need to have picked up the depth, the detail and the basic understanding from other, larger, volumes first - perhaps Pipes' own work - and whether you agree with Pipes or not, this is an excellent short sharp shock.
