About the Book
March 1917: On the Brink of War and Revolution by Will Englund examines a pivotal month in modern history, when two major powers were undergoing profound political change. In Russia, the collapse of Tsar Nicholas II's rule opened the way for revolution and a new political order. At the same time, the United States was moving closer to entering the First World War after years of neutrality.
Drawing on contemporary Russian and American diaries, memoirs, oral histories, and newspaper accounts, Englund reconstructs the events and personalities of March 1917. The narrative brings together figures including Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, Jeannette Rankin, Nicholas II, and Leon Trotsky, while also examining the wider social and political atmosphere surrounding war, revolution, suffrage, race, and international affairs.
A Month That Changed History
The book follows two interconnected developments: the upheaval that brought about the abdication of Russia's tsar and the growing American debate over participation in World War I. By concentrating on a single month, Englund connects events in Washington, Russia, and Europe to show how decisions and upheavals during this period shaped the course of the twentieth century.
Who Is It For?
This book is suited to readers interested in World War I, the Russian Revolution, modern European history, American history, international relations, and the political and social changes of the early twentieth century.
