Sinossi
The Russian Revolution seized a backward, violent, peasant country and turned it into the world's first 'worker's state'. The cost in blood and misery is now known, but no fully modern narrative of those events is available which explains their violence, or the uncontrolled use of power to which they led. Figes has been able to exploit the newly-opened files in Moscow and other cities and to take a truly free look at these nightmare years, including the long civil war that ended in 1923.

First impression of the true first edition, indicated by the number string 1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2 on the printer's page. ***Near fine in black cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still beautifully bright, having been protected by the dustwrapper. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases - just slight creasing to the tail of the spine. Corners sharp.

Internally also near fine with no ownership inscriptions, but please note that there are some ink notes at the top of the last blank page (please see scans). Pages otherwise clean and unmarked.

The dustwrapper is complete, without any chips, tears or creasing - just some minimal rubbing to the edges. No fading even to the spine. Dustwrapper bright. ***923 pages including a detailed section of Notes, a huge 33pp Bibliography and a very detailed 29pp Index at the back of the book. 242mm x 164mm. ***'Vast in scope, based on exhaustive original research, and written with passion, narrative skill and human sympathy, "A People's Tragedy" is the definitive account of the Russian Revolution for a new generation'. (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A true first edition in near fine condition - a scholarly work published by Jonathan Cape, and uncommon to find now in first edition in such near fine condition.
