The Bolshevik Revolution. Any recs on good books about this without rightwing slants?

What was life like in Russia prior to the revolt that caused such an uproar among the populace?

1. Read Trotsky's History of the Russian Revolution.......

Very good and very scholarly without being dry and boring. And it DEFINITELY doesn't have a RW slant. 

I've read it at least twice.

NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Change it to "With these I can give them a rusty fork up the wazoo"

Now, that's funny.

When I think of the Romanovs, I think of people like the 0bamas, the Kennedys, the Kerrys.

What was it like?
Well, my great- grandparents, who were peasant farmers from a German- occupied province of Russia, fled to America as soon as the Bolshevik Revolution broke out. I'd say that kind of says something about which direction they saw their country heading.
