The Russian Civil War surveys the struggle that followed the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917. It traces the formation of Red and White armies, fighting across immense territories and the interventions of foreign powers, nationalist movements and peasant forces.

The book examines war communism, terror, famine and the political fragmentation of the former empire. It explains how Bolshevik organisation, control of central regions and the divisions of their opponents produced victory, while the violence of the conflict shaped the authoritarian institutions of the new Soviet state.
