Passage Through Armageddon: The Russians in War and Revolution, 1914-1918
Purchase options and add-ons
Recounting the tale of the Russians' passage through the shattering experience of the First World War and the revolutions of 1917, W. Bruce Lincoln offers a profoundly intelligent and detailed chronology of the watershed events and devastating hardships that led to the Bolshevik Revolution. Mining an abundance of resources, including letters, diaries, memoirs, government reports, military dispatches, and testimony given to the revolution's first Supreme Commission of Inquiry, he allows the reader to step directly into army headquarters, state council chambers, boudoirs, trenches, and underground revolutionary hideaways of the men and women who shaped the events of this crucial era.

As in his first volume, "In War's Dark Shadow," I am again irritated by his interludes
(Chapter X for example in Part 1916) in which he follows his heart in writing about Petrograd's cultured set, most of whom (Gippius for example) come across simply as bohemians who are getting more of the author's devotion than they deserve, our chatterers if you will. He should have dropped these characters in favor of telling of more about Lenin and Trotskii prior to their emergence full grown with spears in Parts 1917-1918. Also he could have explained the invention of the commissar. Presumably this office was invented to be filled by party members to insure that party orders were obeyed by Russian gentry (officer class for example) and that there was no back sliding into counter revolution. They seem to be sort of secular grand inquisitors. It is fascinating that Nikita Khrushchev was a commissar to Soviet senior generals during the battle of Stalingrad in 1942-43. The commissars seem to have been largely unpopular with Soviet officers, and Stalin eventually discontinued them at the front. Thus the commissar is a very interesting animal, and the deletion of Gippius material in favor of telling us more about the commissar's birth would have been welcomed. Finally not to nitpick I was puzzled why Lenin could hold up in somebody's house in Petrograd apparently without risk of arrest.
