Review title: A masterpiece
Product review: I have never read a book like this. After two readings in as many years, I am still haunted and provoked by this magnificent telling of the revolution. I am not an historian, and I cannot say whether Schama is biased to the left, right, up, or down. It does seem to me as if his uncompromising analysis of the facts and relentless attention to detail would stir up anyone comfortable in her understanding of this time. This book rocked my understanding of ALL revolutions, especially the Bolshevik in 20th century Russia. Schama's passion for justice and right drive a spike through the hypocritic hearts of both critics and apologists for the revolution, leaving us to sit amongst our own prejudices. The accumulation of detail provided here paints a devastating portrait of this complex time, and Schama's narrative brilliance drives the story forward with total conviction and fire. I love what this book reveals, and I love what it did to me, is still doing to me.
