A People’s History of the Russian Revolution

The Russian Revolution may be the most misunderstood event in modern history. In A People’s History of the Russian Revolution, Neil Faulkner sets out to debunk the accumulated myths of the last century, showing how a mass movement of millions mobilised for militant action, and destroyed a regime of landlords, profiteers, and warmongers, and how that movement was subsequently destroyed by a murderous internal counter-revolution.

Neil Faulkner is a leading historian and archaeologist who works as a writer, editor, lecturer, field director, and occasional broadcaster. A research rellow at the University of Bristol, he is the author of numerous books, including A Marxist History of the World: from Neanderthals to Neoliberals and Creeping Fascism: Brexit, Trump, and the Rise of the Far Right. He is editor of Military History Monthly, and co-director of the Great Arab Revolt Project (in Jordan) and the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project (in Norfolk, England) and appears frequently on television – Time Team and Timewatch in particular.
