À propos de cet audio

 “Riveting . . . There is a wealth of new information here that adds considerable texture and nuance to his story and helps to set Russia apart from previous works.”—The Wall Street Journal

An epic new account of the conflict that reshaped Eastern Europe and set the stage for the rest of the twentieth century.

Between 1917 and 1921 a devastating struggle took place in Russia following the collapse of the Tsarist empire. The doomed White alliance of moderate socialists and reactionary monarchists stood little chance against Trotsky’s Red Army and the single-minded Communist dictatorship under Lenin. In the savage civil war that followed, terror begat terror, which in turn led to ever greater cruelty with man’s inhumanity to man, woman and child. The struggle became a world war by proxy as Churchill deployed weaponry and troops from the British empire, while contingents from the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Poland, and Czechoslovakia played rival parts.

Using the most up to date scholarship and archival research, Antony Beevor assembles the complete picture in a gripping narrative that conveys the conflict through the eyes of everyone from the worker on the streets of Petrograd to the cavalry officer on the battlefield and the doctor in an improvised hospital.

The author has produced a meticulously researched and detailed description of the 1917 and its’ bloody aftermath. Wonderfully narrated, it is worth the time to listen to this tome with its’ short but insightful conclusion that ends the book.

An excellent read.

What I've always loved about Beevor's style is the way he can deftly maneuver between the 10000 foot view and the intensely personal. Russia is missing those emotional hooks that gripped me in his previous works. The new narrator didn't help. Still informative, but not nearly as well written as The Second World War, Stalingrad, or The Fall of Berlin.

Not up to Beevor standards

Although it’s interesting to hear (some) of the detailed nitty gritty and this history does give historical perspective to the current conflict, I would have liked a more strategic take on the conflict and how other countries and leaders were involved in this historic conflict.

Could have been more strategic
