The history of the Russian revolution

Leon Trotsky

The History of the Russian Revolution is a three-volume book that provides a comprehensive account of the February and October revolutions in Russia in 1917. Written by Leon Trotsky during his exile in Turkey, the book is divided into three volumes: The Overthrow of Tzarism, The Attempted Counter-Revolution, and The Triumph of the Soviets. It explains the historical reasons behind the overthrow of tsarism, the role of the masses in revolutions, and the political dynamics leading to the Bolsheviks' rise to power. The book also serves as a critique of Stalin's attempts to rewrite history and is considered an important work due to its unique perspective from a participant and theorist of the revolution[2][4][5].
