Product Information
Personal critique of the Russian revolution (based on his experience as an eyewitness), placed into historical context.
"What went wrong in Russia? How did the successful attempt to overthrow the old dictatorship of the Tsarist system only lead to the new dictatorship of the Communists? Alexander Berkman's work "The Russian Tragedy" is a key work to answering these questions since Berkman supported the revolution that overthrew the Tsar. He arrived in Russia at the beginning of 1920, having been deported from the United States because of his opposition to the First World War. But less than two years later he left Russia convinced that the Communists had destroyed the social revolution he spent his life fighting for."
