Ten top books about the Russian Revolution

One of Tariq Ali's top ten books about the Russian Revolution, as shared at the Guardian:

History of the Russian Revolution by Leon Trotsky

This passionate, partisan and beautifully written account by a major participant in the revolution, written during his exile on the isle of Prinkipo in Turkey, remains one of the best accounts of 1917. No counter-revolutionary, conservative or liberal, has been able to compete with this telling.
