A History of Soviet Russia: 2 The Interregnum 1923-1924

Covers the period of confusion and uncertainty during the months of Lenin's last illness and the first weeks after his death. The Times Literary Supplement commented that The Interregnum 'is in every respect up to the standard of the previous volumes, rich and solid in the fabric of historical fact, ranging widely over the economic, social, and political problems, painstaking in research, and lucid in presentation.'
