Seller's Description:
Near fine. xviii, 196 pages. Occasional footnotes. Illustrations (a few with color). Author's Note. Timeline. Bibliography. Glossary. Index. Foreword by Mark D. Steinberg. Jessica E. Piper is an American writer and researcher. In 2013 she was recognized as a National Endowment for the Humanities Scholar for her research on changing American labor relations in the late 1800s. She has also researched diaspora settlement history at the Jewish Museum of Hohenems in Hohenems, Austria. She has written about contemporary immigration issues. From The Author's Note: "History is full of unexpected lessons....Our job, as writers and readers, is to try and understand perspectives different from our own." From the Introduction: "In this book, you will read about people who died fighting to bring communism to Russia, and you will read about people who died as a result of the communist regime. You will read about an incompetent tsar whose policies tore millions of families apart, yet who--in the year before his death--only wanted to enjoy a normal live with his wife and children. You will read about leaders who changed the course of history, and about millions of everyday citizens whose lives were forever changed by events they could not control. All of these stories are the story of the Russian Revolution.
