The Rise of the Constitutional Alternative to Soviet Rule in 1918

Histories of wars, revolutions and great political and social upheavals are written by the victors. This is particularly true about the Bolshevik coup d'etat in Russia in October 1917. Although this book is about the aftermath of the coup, it has been written from the point of view of the vanquished, i.e., the constitutional alternative to Soviet rule which asserted itself vigorously by May 1918 and asked the Allies for assistance.
