Groundbreaking in its inclusiveness, enthralling in its narrative of a movement whose purpose, in the words of Leon Trotsky, was "to overthrow the world", The Russian Revolution draws conclusions that aroused great controversy in this country. Richard Pipes argues convincingly that the Russian Revolution was an intellectual, rather than a class, uprising; that it was steeped in terror from its very outset; and that it was not a revolution at all but a coup d'etat - "the capture of governmental power by a small minority."

Possibly my favorite audiobook I’ve ever listened too, easily my favorite non fiction one. Before I was of the opinion that Lenin wasn’t that bad, his message was simply twisted by Stalin who was easily recognizable as a monster. As this book makes clear though Lenin laid the groundwork not just for Stalin but for similar terrors and repression’s during the 20th Century. The narration in addition was excellent.

More people should read this book to have a more complete understanding of just how pure evil the bolsheviks were, and how incompetent the imperial regime was.

Excellent read, lots of information

Great explanation and insights into the horrific nature of Marxism and Leninism. Shocking how such a small band of fanatics could plunge a country of 90 million into a century of terror and mass murder.
