The February Revolution, Petrograd, 1917 is the most comprehensive book on the epic uprising that toppled the tsarist monarchy and ushered in the next stage of the Russian Revolution. Hasegawa presents in detail the intense drama of the nine days of the revolution, including the workers' strike, soldiers' revolt, the scrambling of revolutionary party activists to control the revolution, and the liberals' conspiracy to force Tsar Nicholas II to abdicate.
“[Tsuyoshi Hasegawa's] achievement in creating a superbly clear and detailed, indeed encyclopaedic, rendering of the whirlwind of events that plunged Russian society into crisis in February 1917 and gave birth to ‘Dual Power’ is formidable scholarship.”
—Simon Cosgrove, Europe-Asia Studies
“This book continues to be the definitive account of the February Revolution: Hasegawa has effectively used the wide variety of materials published in the yearssince his original book to provide an exemplary account of the revolution.”
—Peter Waldron, American Historical Review
