Book Synopsis
Historians have never resolved a central mystery of the Russian Revolution: how did the Bolsheviks, despite facing a world of enemies and leaving nothing but economic ruin in their path, manage to stay in power through five long years of civil war? This book exposes some of the darkest secrets of Russia's early days of communism.
