History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union: Bolsheviks (Vintage 1951 Hardcover)

Description

This book is a lot things. It is a history of Russia and the Soviet Union from the turn of the century to about 1937 or so. It follows the ebb and flow of revolution from the perspective of people dedicated to overthrowing capitalism and all oppression. Yes, it is partisan, but also self-reflective. It is highly entertaining, unless you aren’t interested in the formation of the first socialist nations on earth. There are missteps, strategic errors, and corrections followed by victories and new challenges, from revolution and overthrowing the Tsar, to forming a proletariat leadership, to repelling invaders and counter-revolutionary forces of civil war, to the death of Lenin and the Lenin Enrollment that followed, to constructing socialism.
