Summary: Good collection of essays, but not an introductory text.
Review: "The Russian Revolution and Bolshevik Victory:Third Edition," edited and introduced by Ronald Suny and Arthur Adams is a wonderful up-to-date collection of essays from top-notch historians on the current historical debates surrounding the causes and actions of the Russian Revolution. Books from the PROBLEMS IN EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION SERIES are designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate level European history courses. That being said, this book is not an introductory text. The authors of the articles go directly into their subjects, without providing any significant background information. Therefore, you need to have an historical base level of knowledge to work from. Nonetheless, it is an excellent tool for students, scholars and general readers of modern European history. The text is best used in class discussions and debate. This edition has a wonderful chronology of events, which is helpful in preparing for exams. An excellent representation on Russian historical scholarship
