Moorehead has traced the course of events well and concisely. The book now being fifty years old, it may seem a little dated by the discovery of new material since then, but it is still a valuable record of that turbulent period.
For further relevant reading on the subject, we can also recommend [[The Murder of the Romanovs by Andrew Cook]]. To put the Russian revolution into the wider picture of the European conflict, [[The Great War by Peter Hart]] is worth attention, as is [[Russia: a 1000A 1,000-Year Chronicle of the Wild East by Martin Sixsmith]], a fuller history of the country.
