Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Originally published in 1959, this is the true story of Mark Carter, who was born in Czarist Russia and experienced first-hand the aborted revolution of 1905, the Kerensky Revolution of 1917, the Bolshevik Revolution of October, 1917, and witnessed the coming of communism to the largest country on earth...
"This is a story--a true story, The Russian Revolution, As I Saw It. If it will add a footnote to history, if it will bring into focus a greater awareness of the beginnings of communism, the effort expended in writing it will not have been in vain."--Mark Carter, Foreword
