Description: This book offers a firsthand account of Russia during a pivotal period, spanning from April 1916 to November 1918. The author, the United States Ambassador to Russia, provides a unique perspective on the waning days of the Tsarist regime, the turbulent months of the Provisional Government, and the rise of the Bolsheviks. Through personal letters, official dispatches, and vivid recollections, the author paints a compelling picture of a nation in turmoil. He delves into the pervasive German influence in Russian affairs, the whispers of treason in high places, and the growing discontent that ultimately led to revolution. The narrative captures the hope and uncertainty surrounding the Provisional Government, the escalating chaos as various factions vied for power, and the dramatic events that culminated in the Bolshevik takeover. The author's keen observations and insightful analysis shed light on the complex political landscape of Russia, the motivations of key players, and the profound impact of the First World War on the nation's trajectory. This book serves as a valuable historical record and a testament to the enduring consequences of political upheaval and ideological conflict.
