Dispatches From The Revolution

A special correspondent for the Manchester Guardian, Price was one of the few Englishmen in Russia during all phases of the Revolution. These pre-censored observations and comments, as well as letters, postcards, and other writings, offer an account of the Russian Revolution from an eyewitness whose political commitment, fluency in Russian, and extensive travel far beyond the cities permitted him to write, uniquely, not only of metropolitan news and politics but also of the experiences and issues significant to ordinary peasants, workers, and soldiers in remote areas of the Russian empire. A foreword by Eric Hobsbawn and introductory material by editor Tania Rose place Price’s observations in biographical and historical context.
