β¦ Synopsis
An epic saga of the Soviet Union's brutal first decades-from The New York Times bestselling master of espionage. Robert Littell presents an ambitious novel about star-crossed idealist Alexander Til. Til returns to Petrograd on the eve of the October Revolution in 1917 to put his life on the line in the hope of transforming Russia. But the revolution, he watches the people and his ideals crushed by Josef Stalin. Taking readers from the storming of the Winter Palace to the nightmares of the gulag, The Revolutionist is a masterwork of historical fiction.
