From Library Journal:
This the first non-Soviet study to focus exclusively on the Russian Revolution as it developed in a provincial town. Raleigh clearly demonstrates that the revolutionary activities of 1917 were subtle, yet ubiquitousnot merely a series of blasts from the Petrograd epicenter. A provincial center of almost 300,000, Saratov boasted its own distinct blend of revolutionary actions, reactions, and traditions. Though Raleigh's efforts to present the local political power struggles are not always effective, this remains a highly significant study, one that provides fresh new access points into a complicated period of Russian history. This well-researched book, with its excellent bibliography, belongs in most academic libraries. Mark R. Yerburgh, Trinity Coll. Lib., Burlington, Vt.
