@Jeddak you have any book recommendations for 1916 Russia?
@2Glocks, I'm not at the house to look at my library right now & I'm drawing a blank on the 1916 revolution specifically. i'll add to this when I get home.

For a very readable & good summary of the precursors:
Barbara Tuchman, The Proud Tower is a brief history of Europe from like 1890 til the outbreak of World War I

Robert Service, Lenin is a very good biography

Dmitri Volkogonov (3 books), Autopsy of an Empire: The 7 leaders who built the Soviet Regime, Stalin: Triumph & Tragedy & Trotsky: The Eternal REvolutionary

Jack Reed, 10 Days That Shook the World Reed was an American socialist & journalist, very sympathetic to the Soviets & present during the revolution in Russia. One of the few Americans buried in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis. Made into a movie with Warren Beatty as Jack Reed.

Brian Crozier, The Rise & Fall of the Soviet Empire obviously cove3rs the revolution in the early sections of a massive book.

Piers Brendon, The Dark Valley: A Panorama of the 1930s is a survey of the period which saw the rise of Stalin, Hitler & Mussolini.

All I got off the top of my head right now.

Thanks Book-Daddy! Ordered 10 Days that Shook the World. I'm wrapping up A Small Corner of Hell this week so I'll be able to dive right into this when it arrives!

Just remember with 10 days that shhok the world, that Reed was a socialist who believed in all that crap, so his accounts of his experiences is colored by that.
