A Concise History of the Russian Revolution by Richard Pipes

The institutional arrangement is already in place for stalin. How can you absolve lenon if youre even claim that he meant to prevent somebody like a stalon from taking part? Well, apparently he failed completely. There's a great book by richard pipes. Richard pipes has a series of books on russia before and during and after this period. They're huge, but there's a one volume work called a concise history of the russian revolution,. And i'm glad he did that.
