In War's Dark Shadow by W Bruce Lincoln

In War's Dark Shadow by W Bruce Lincoln

In the quarter century before World War I, change came to Russia at a dizzying pace. The industrial revolution, the building of the Trans-Siberian Railroad, the disastrous Russo-Japanese War, and the Revolution of 1905 drastically reshaped the lives of both the ruling classes and ordinary people. Imperial Russia was home to more than a hundred million men and women, but by the time Vladimir Lenin announced the Bolsheviks' revolutionary victory, one in three had either perished or fled in exile. In War's Dark Shadow explores the lives, thoughts, and hopes of the Russian people as they entered the twentieth century.

"An exemplary popular history, a work which is at once erudite, readable, and persuasive... Lincoln's work gives a multisided portrait of the Russian people at the most critical moment of their modern history."
-Slavic Review
"A vivid, dramatic, and authoritative account of the societal clashes and contradictions that made the revolution of 1917 inevitable.... [Lincoln] makes history not only vivid but accessible."—Chicago Tribune Bookworld
"Lincoln has written a work of huge scope and astounding erudition."—Los Angeles Times
