25th October 1917.
History sometimes takes place over long periods of time; sometimes it can occur in a single day. This high-drama series looks at those momentous days in the last century when great and terrible things transpired within 24 hours which would leave an impact on the history of the world for decades afterwards.
This high-drama account of the Russian Revolution starts by looking at events leading up to 25 October 1917 - when the old order in Russia was replaced by a new Communist one. It then focuses in on the actual day, dramatically telling the story of the revolution in a minute-by-minute account.
The book finishes by looking at how the Bolsheviks, once in power, gained control of this vast sprawling country, before looking at the revolution's impact on the rest of the world. Moment-in-time boxes, describing eye-witness accounts, give a sense of drama and immediacy to the book.
