Russia: Revolution and Civil War 1917-1921 by Antony Beevor is a gripping exploration of one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history. Acclaimed by the Daily Telegraph as a "masterpiece of history," this work delves deep into the chaos that engulfed Russia following the fall of the Tsarist empire.

Between 1917 and 1921, the nation was embroiled in a savage civil war that redefined its future. Beevor artfully presents the conflicting dynamics of the era, detailing how a fractured White alliance struggled against the formidable Red Army, headed by Trotsky, under Lenin's authoritarian rule.

Utilizing cutting-edge scholarship and extensive archival research, Beevor paints a vivid picture of the conflict, capturing the experiences of:

  • The worker navigating the streets of Petrograd
  • The cavalry officer leading charges on the battlefield
  • The woman doctor tending to the wounded in makeshift hospitals

This narrative not only reveals the brutality of war but also examines the global implications as nations like the UK, USA, France, and Japan intervened, turning a national crisis into a world war by proxy. With its masterful storytelling and rich historical detail, Russia: Revolution and Civil War 1917-1921 is essential for anyone interested in understanding the profound impact of this era on contemporary society.

Beevor's previous works, including the international bestseller Stalingrad, have set a high bar for historical narrative, and this book solidifies his reputation as a leading historian.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
