Reviews

""The Peasants' War brings the Russian countryside to life, showing in rich detail how the First World War reshaped peasants' lives and their relationship with the state. This poignant and timely work strikes a strong chord reminding readers that a regime can be quickly overthrown in response to an unpopular war."" - Aaron Retish, Wayne State University ""This illuminating book is the first to home in on the war years themselves."" - David W. Darrow, University of Dayton
