Book Preview: #1 The story of the hopes, struggles, strains, and defeats that followed 1917 has been told many times before. It was not a given that the revolution would turn out this way, and it was not written in any stars.

#2 The consolidation of the revolution around the country was not uniform. In Moscow, there was prolonged, bitter fighting. The Bolsheviks extended their control, and the government required that the long-delayed Constituent Assembly recognize the sovereignty of the soviets. When the representatives refused, the Bolsheviks and Left SRs declared it undemocratic and unrepresentative.

#3 The treaty of Brest-Litovsk between the Soviet government and Germany and its allies brings Russia’s role in the war to a close, but under shockingly punitive terms. In protest at the treaty, the Left SRs resign from government.

#4 Between 1918 and 1921, the Bolsheviks fight several counter-revolutionary forces, backed and assisted by foreign powers, who try to bring down the Bolshevik regime. The Bolsheviks unleash their own Red Terror.
