Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-10 00:00:00 Rick Aiello Great, the extended dialogue between the great characters of the revolution and the vivid details of each traumatic event . Military passages can be hard to visualise with no maps to aid but all in all a fantastic history book

Review # 2 was written on 2020-12-07 00:00:00 Rachel Penn "Wherever the working masses do not let themselves be subjugated, wherever they cultivate the love of independence, wherever they concentrate their class will, they will always create their own historical social movement, they will act on their own. This is the essence of the Makhnovshchina." There have been few attempts in the modern era to create a stateless society, on a large scale and defended with arms. The Makhnovshchina represents one of the most impressive, lasting three years. Engaged in bloody struggle with Austro-German invaders, "Petliurists" (national bourgeois movement), the White generals Denikin and Wrangel, as well as the Red Army headed up by Trotsky, the anarchist-Makhnovists had little opportunity for creative social experiments, and much of this is military history. But whether they were dynamiting prisons, facilitating peasant congresses, executing landlords, or putting on theater for the people, the Ukrainian insurgents everywhere planted the idea of social revolution and a "free soviet system." Exhausted by war, the Black Army was finally doomed by Trotsky's final betrayal in Crimea, and the Cheka and commissars imposed murderous dictatorship in the name of their "scientific socialism."
