October: The Story of the Russian Revolution by China Miéville

4.0

This is a really wonderful account of the Russian Revolution. Miéville's use of language is glorious and his sense of the import of events unfolding is told masterfully. If you want to know the nitty-gritty of what happened in the year 1917 in Russia, precisely how the revolution unfolded, this is a terrific book to read. At times the granular details can be a bit too much minutiae, but overall it's a captivating read.
