The Russian Revolution
Although Sheila Fitzpatrick does not speak as a socialist or leftist, she is definitely not malicious towards the Soviet history and her approach is scientific (I can't say ''neutral'', because such a thing in my opinion does not exist). There are interpretive lines with which I disagree (she repeats the story that the Bolshevik takeover was a coup d'etat, there is also too simplistic equalization of party discipline and unity with authoritarian tendencies, she develops a theses of the continuity between Lenin and Stalin etc.) But actually much can be learned from the book and it's very interesting author's reference to the complexity of the situation (for example with regard to the structure of the Bolshevik Party which was not at all homogeneous and in its dynamics showed variations of the stand and the heterogeneous internal factions etc.)
