Description

This scholarly work by Geoffrey Swain examines the turbulent period from February 1917 to November 1918, tracing how the Russian Civil War emerged from the chaos of revolutionary upheaval. Rather than presenting a simple narrative of revolutionaries versus counter-revolutionaries, Swain reveals the intricate motivations driving the anti-Bolshevik insurgents whilst demonstrating how fear of civil conflict shaped both the Provisional Government's decisions and Bolshevik strategy. By exploring the wider context of post-revolutionary Russia, this study unpacks the complex political and ideological forces that precipitated one of the twentieth century's most consequential conflicts. Published by Routledge as part of the Origins of Modern Wars series, it offers historians and students a nuanced understanding of how civil war became inevitable in Russia during this critical period.

Key Features

Geoffrey Swain analyses the specific aims and motivations of anti-Bolshevik insurgents rather than treating them as a monolithic force.

The study demonstrates how fear of impending civil war directly influenced both the Provisional Government's actions and Bolshevik planning.
