A revolutionary historical study, Norman Stone's work, The Eastern Front 1914-1917, was the first authentic account of the Russian Front in World War I published in the West. In this classic history, he dismantles the myths surrounding a relatively unknown area of the war, demonstrating how inefficiency, rather than economic shortage, led to Russia's desperate deprivations and ultimate retreat. He also interprets the connection between the war and the ensuing chaos, arguing that, although the battles had nearly ceased by the end of 1916, Russia remained in turmoil - undergoing a period of change that would inevitably lead to revolutions.
