"The Russian Revolution has been examined countless times, but never from the perspective of postcards. This book is an extraordinary visual record of the tumultuous events of the 1905, the Menshevik, and Bolshevik Revolutions. The postcards capture the imperial splendour of the royal family in their final years, the mood of revolution as the crowds took to the streets, and the sense of optimism that greeted the new regime. They also reveal a very personal quality: in a card sent by the Grand Duchess Olga from the house where the royal family was imprisoned shortly before their murder in Ekaterinburg, and a snapshot of Lenin chatting informally with the author H.G. Wells." "This book is a unique contribution to the visual history of the Russian Revolution and brings to life one of the defining events of the twentieth century."--Jacket.
