This book was very informative in terms of a comprehensive description of the turn of events between 1917 and 1921 as well as acts of revolution before and after these years. The basic moral is that if enough people don't like what goes on in a certain place, they will find some sort of way to change it, in this case, by revolting. This book teaches that if only the government had worked with the people in deciding what went on, events occurring between the years 1917 and 1920 would have different much more greatly. Overall, this was an informative book.
