October: The Story of the Russian Revolution
by China Miéville
I knew almost none of this history before, and October was a tremendously satisfying way to learn some of it.
This was at times a difficult read as the sea of foreign-to-me Russian names made it occasionally difficult to keep characters and parties straight, but it's a thrilling and page-turning story all the same.
Miéville's lush writing is a draw, but the story is on rails anyway, you can't help but be borne along.
