• Essential for us A levellers, and almost enjoyable!. For those who are struggling revising for the Lenin and the Bolshevik establishment of power OCR A2 paper, look no further than the add to basket button at the bottom of this page. It summerises all the events you need while detailing HISTORIOGRAPHY [yes, on every event!!]. OK, it s a tad light on Libertarism, but aren t we all???!!
• A good review of the historiography of the period. This book was one of the main texts in my studies of the Russian Revolution (now some ten years ago), and it s the only one I remember well. Unlike most other works in the field, Acton doesn t seem to have a political axe to grind, but treats each subtopic with a discursive approach: weighing up all sides of the arguments. As such, it s an essay-writer s dream: you can get plenty of material, and not a few essay layouts, from this book. If you re a lazy student (and I certainly was) you should consider grabbing a copy.
