Más información sobre el libro

The book offers a nuanced perspective on the Russian Civil War, challenging the oversimplified narrative of a conflict solely between the "Whites" and "Reds." It emphasizes the complex interplay of state institutions, political parties, and social movements, highlighting the internal struggles within both factions. Brovkin reveals the vulnerabilities of these groups amid widespread strikes, mutinies, and rebellions, portraying the war as a multifaceted social and political upheaval rather than a mere military confrontation.
