March 1917: the Month That Changed the World
About This Novel
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Will Englund's classic historical narrative work shows in wonderful writing: at the critical time in March 1917 when the United States decided to join the "World War I", Russia embraced revolution, and cleverly intertwined the stories of the United States and Russia, revealing the inextricable connections between the two; how leaders, soldiers, pacifists, activists, revolutionaries and reactionaries predicted and made decisions in history, and ultimately changed the two countries, the United States and Russia, and determined the world pattern of the 20th century. The author believes that in complex historical events, people are captured by a naive and hopeful dream. Almost all predictions about war turned out to be wrong. The war did not make the world safe for democracy as Wilson hoped, nor did it lead the world to a new order... Through the writing of this book, he "hopes that the next century will be different from the past because of rational decision-making", which is also profoundly inspiring for today's world. It uses a very dramatic narrative technique and a very literary style to restore historical scenes, making people immersed in the situation; it digs deeply into a large number of newspapers, archives, personal letters, diaries and other materials related to the theme of this book, leading readers into the hearts of people at that time, vividly depicting their thinking, personality and even flaws, reshaping the political changes during the First World War and recreating the social trends of the time.
