About this product
Product Information
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Romanov Sisters , Caught in the Revolution is Helen Rappaport's masterful telling of the outbreak of the Russian Revolution through eye-witness accounts left by foreign nationals who saw the drama unfold. Between the first revolution in February 1917 and Lenin's Bolshevik coup in October, Petrograd (the former St Petersburg) was in turmoil - felt nowhere more keenly than on the fashionable Nevsky Prospekt. There, the foreign visitors who filled hotels, clubs, offices and embassies were acutely aware of the chaos breaking out on their doorsteps and beneath their windows. Among this disparate group were journalists, diplomats, businessmen, bankers, governesses, volunteer nurses and expatriate socialites. Many kept diaries and wrote letters home: from an English nurse who had already survived the sinking of the Titanic; to the black valet of the US Ambassador, far from his native Deep South; to suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst, who had come to Petrograd to inspect the indomitable Women's Death Battalion led by Maria Bochkareva. Helen Rappaport draws upon this rich trove of material, much of it previously unpublished, to carry us right up to the action - to see, feel and hear the Revolution as it happened to an assortment of individuals who suddenly felt themselves trapped in a red madhouse.

Reviews
"Splendid . . . By confining herself to foreigners in Russia's capital, Rappaport takes a necessarily narrow slice of revolutionary history.

A mosaic of truth which no fictional one could outdo." --The Washington Times "A multifaceted account of the 1917 Russian Revolution . . . gripping and thoroughly researched. . .

Hey there,
Yes, there would have been holidays in the transit interim as well as the postal service contending with the typical volume at that time. Furthermore, the shipping out time accords with the shipping times noted in the listing, which is in business days. So, the business days also would have been disrupted with holidays and the package was delivered within the previously allotted time as listed. I did not ship it later than designated as per the ad.
