reviewed Red Victory:history of Russian... on October 26, 2017
Red Victory
Lincoln’s history details the power grabs, the bloodshed, and the horrific events that follow “the euphoria of 1917, when the Revolution had flourished and men and women had worked in common to build a world free of bureaucracy, coercion, and state control" (504). The book does a good job situating the various battles and portraying the army commanders without losing sight of the scope of the war or for what is being fought.
My main quibble, which has been pointed out by other commentators, is the lack of maps. Despite this shortcoming, it’s a thorough, and highly readable, account of the fighting as well as the political machinations that eventually lead to the power originally promised to the proletariat instead being transferred to "the monolithic, intolerant, highly centralized Communist Party"(514-5).
Recommended to anyone interested in Russian and/or 20th Century history.
