Book Seven: Caught in the Revolution by Helen Rappaport

Historian Helen Rappaport has written seven books about Russia. This is the second one that I've read. I've enjoyed both books. Other books I've read about Russia focus on the Romanov family and the end of their dynasty. This book focuses on foreign diplomats, businessmen, and journalists, and others living in Petrograd in 1917. Basically the people dealt with eight months of food shortages, uncertainty. and threats of violence. 

When I wrote about the Romanov Sisters, I thanked Rappaport for giving the Grand Duchesses voices. Here, I thank her again for giving voices to these witnesses to the Revolution.
