Between 1917 and 1922, Russia underwent a complete and irreversible transformation. Taking advantage of the collapse of the Tsarist regime in the middle of World War I, the Bolsheviks staged a hostile takeover of the Russian Imperial Army, promoting mutinies and mass desertions of men in order to fulfill Lenin's program of turning the \"imperialist war\" into civil war. By the time the Bolsheviks had snuffed out the last resistance five years later, over twenty million people had died, and the Russian economy had collapsed so completely that communism had to be temporarily abandoned. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The first comprehensive history of these momentous events in over two decades, \u003ci\u003eThe Russian Revolution \u003c\/i\u003ecombines cutting-edge scholarship and a fast-paced narrative to shed new light on one of the most significant turning points of the twentieth century.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSean McMeekin\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of history at Bard College.
