Richard Pipes is Frank B. Baird, Jr., Professor of History, Emeritus, at Harvard University.
Reviews of the first edition:
Simply to chronicle the highly complicated sequence of events in
the ethnic borderlands of Russia during the tumultuous years
between 1917 and 1923 is a difficult problem by itself. Richard
Pipes has not only accomplished this task…but he has given this
complex story meaning and perspective.
*Political Science Quarterly*
The most lucid description of the nationalist revolutionary
upheavals following the October revolution.
*International Journal*
Pipes has succeeded remarkably well in elucidating a most complex
subject and in giving a systematic, well-documented, and
well-written account of the stormy years, 1917–1923.
*Russian Review*
