Summary

'The Kronstadt Rebellion was the first and only organized armed revolt against the Soviets which could have led to a Third Revolution in Russia. It failed. This book tells graphically why. Because the revolt was a challenge to the might of the Soviets by the people, the story is barely mentioned in Soviet history books. Whenever it is mentioned, the nature of the uprising and the motives of its leaders are thoroughly falsified. Here is the fully documented and vividly recreated story of the rebellion, led by the sailors and officers of two Baltic fleet ships, leaders of the Kronstadt Red Army units, and heads of the local Soviet--and its brutal suppression. It is a dramatic record of the first organized attempt of the Russian people to resist the despotic rule of their government"--cover page
