    <body><![CDATA[Very highly recommended for anyone interested in Russian history or just looking for a very engaging 20th century history read. The book provides a detailed explanation and chronology of both 1917 revolutions in Russia, while being eminently readable and painting a fascinating picture of the individual personalities of the key players. The book undertakes a thorough exploration of the fall of the Czar, the rise and fall of Alexander Kerensky, and how the Petrograd Soviet went from fringe group to the masters of Russia. Written by a reporter who covered the Soviet Union for years, it's written in a style designed to let the reader feel the flow of events like an unfolding news story. A great book that both kept me enthralled and taught me a lot about an era of history I had always wanted to understand.]]></body>
