Ascher's book finally gives the events of 1905 their due in Western scholarship. . . . This is a book to be savored. It is broadly conceived to encompass the revolution 'from above' as well as 'from below, ' analytically strong with a powerful and persuasive argument, and gracefully written with a compelling narrative. --American Historical Review
