A Partisan History
August 31, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

This article critically appraises the book "The Birth of Russian Democracy," by A.J. Sack. As a collection of facts the book may have its value to the student of the Russian revolution. It contains, especially in its second half, which deals with the period March-November 1917, a number of documents, declarations, resolutions, speeches, appeals, expressing more or less vividly the frame of mind and the aspirations of various organizations and individuals active in that gigantic upheaval. As it is, the book bears all the earmarks of a partisan history of the revolution, which, in spite of its bulk and of some valuable material, will hardly add to our understanding of what took place.
