Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War and Revolution in Russia, 1914-1917 IN the midst of profound peace, in the active work of economical and social reform, Russia, as by thunderbolt, was struck by the news of approaching mobilisation, and by the urgent necessity of having recourse to the sword to protect her interests and those of the other Slav nations. To define exactly the position in which the beginning of the war found Russia, it is necessary briefly to survey her political condition at the moment. The country was still feeling the disturbing effects of the Revolution of 1905 - 6. The intellectual classes which had now received access to and obtained a share in political life and legislation, were engrossed by the struggle with the Government. This tur moil centred specially in the Imperial Duma. With the opening of military action this internal strife of the parties, as in other European countries, and the striving for suprem acy between the Imperial Duma and the Government, died down at first, but later became gradually acute again. This, we observe, was the case with all our Allies and in a certain degree with our enemies. After three years of war, this struggle, becoming still more acute, brought about a crisis which ended in the Revolution of March 1917.

Download or read book Passage Through Armageddon written by W. Bruce Lincoln and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invaded by foreign armies and threatened by the terrors of civil strife, Russia's leaders mobilized more than fifteen million fighting men between 1914 and 1918 only to find that at least a quarter of them had no boots, rifles, or ammunition. With field casualties soaring into the millions, scourges of starvation and disease joined the enemy's guns to double and treble Russia's human losses. Never in modern history had war so devastated a nation. Recounting the tale of the Russians' passage through the shattering experience of the First World War and the revolutions of 1917, W. Bruce Lincoln offers a profoundly intelligent and detailed chronology of the watershed events and devastating hardships that led to the Bolshevik Revolution. Mining an abundance of resources, including letters, diaries, memoirs, government reports, military dispatches, and testimony given to the revolution's first Supreme Commission of Inquiry, he allows the reader to step directly into army headquarters, state council chambers, boudoirs, trenches, and underground revolutionary hideaways of the men and women who shaped the events of this crucial era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soviet-American Relations, 1917-1920: Russia Leaves the War When this study was first contemplated, the intention was not to re construct in detail the happenings of the initial months of the Soviet American relationship, but rather to attempt a critical appraisal of the actions and policies of the two governments in their relations with each other over a much longer span of time. It soon became apparent, however, ' that despite the existence of several valuable secondary works on individual phases of Soviet - American relations in the early period, there was no general treatment of this subject, tapping all the sources available today, that could serve as adequate foundation for critical judgment. In these circumstances there was no alternative but to delve into the original source materials and to attempt to unravel, if only for one's own instruction, the tangled web of what actually occurred. The present volume brings the first fruits of these researches, re lating to the period between the November Revolution of 1917 and Russia's final departure, in March 1918, from the ranks of the war ring powers. It is, admittedly, a heavily detailed account; some may think too much so. In attempting to bring together the available evi dence on events at once so complex and so controversial, I have pre ferred to err on the side of explicitness rather than to run the risk, or invite the suspicion, of partiality in the selection of material. But be> yond that: the more I saw of these records of the doings of an official generation slightly older than my own, the more it was borne in upon me that the genuine image of the diplomatic process is hardly to be recaptured in historical narrative unless the lens through which it is viewed is a sharp one and the human texture of which it consists becomes visible in considerable detail. The acts and deci sions of statesmanship will seldom be found entirely intelligible if viewed apart from the immediate context of time and circumstance -information, associates, pressures, prejudices, impulses, and mo mentary necessities - in which they occur.
