The book discusses the rise and fall of the Bolshevik revolution from famines at the end of the Tsarist era to the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is an overview. It is not a deep dive but it was just enough for me, what I was looking for. I knew little about Lenin or how Stalin consolidated power. Sadly our situation today was an echo of what I was reading.
The book is well written and flows nicely. At times I wanted a little more information but, as I said, this is not an in depth study. I came away knowing more than I did before.
I gave this book four stars out of five on Goodreads. It did what I expected in an easy to read way.
