Novel 4

Novel: The Bolshevik Revolution and Russian Civil War
Author: Rex A. Wade

This book is set up very much like a text book, it takes a pure Historical view of what happened. Which makes it difficult to read. I keep referencing the two of the other books that I have read. The interesting point though is that every book that I have read so far has provided a different aspect to the Romanov issue. The first book (The Last Days of the Romanov's: Tragedy at Ekaterinburg) looked purely at what happened to the last Imperial family and relayed the situation from how the captives were feeling. The second book that I read (The Last Days of the Romanov's) looked at not only the last Imperial families life but the lives of all of the Romanov's; the Grand Dukes, the Princes/Princess's of the Blood, the regular Princes and Princess's, and all of the Romanov's married across Europe. The book I am currently reading (Trotsky: A Biography) immediately starts off from the Jewish perspective, which at the time was the extremely poor working class. After looking through my last book I find it pretty repetitive of most of the fact's that I have already learned. I think that this book with just be one that I can reference just in case I don't understand something I have read in the other three books.
