    Default Russian Revolution

    I am looking for book/books on the Russian Revolution. Can anyone recommend a good starting place?

    Thanks,

    Kelly

    Assuming your talking about 1917 and not 1905, there are many good ones. Most don't simply deal with the revolution itself though. Here are a couple that I've read:

    Carr, History of Soviet Russia Volume 1

    Anything by Ulam, especially this one.

    Richard Pipes book I haven't read, but have heard it's good.
    Supporting "time-limited, scope limited military actions" for 20 years.

    Default Robert K. Massie

    Massie wrote a couple of very good books from the perspective of the Romanov's: Nicholas and Alexandra, and The Romanovs: The Final Chapter. I haver read parts of Riasanovsky's A History of Russia, but not the portion concerning the Revolution.

    Both of the Massie books are page-turners.

    There is one other title that escapes me; I must have loaned to someone for it isn't on my shelves.

    Yes 1917 revolution is the time frame I am looking for. Thanks for the recommendations.
