An excellent read. My only complaints are really just nitpicky. I think he should have added 1923's Pepelyayevschina in the book (The end of the Whites in Russia), and he should've expanded on the Basmachi. His idea that the Civil War ended in 1920 is flawed at best. As stated above, White resistance ended in 1923, and the Basmachi died out by 1934 (1938?). Despite the nitpickiness, I will agree that the book is amazingly detailed, and a good starting point on the subject.
