March 1917: The Red Wheel, Node III, Book 3 by Aleksandr SolzhenitsynMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
My rating for the whole Red Wheel series to date is a full 5 stars. This epic historical fiction account of the Russian revolution is intense, complex, and exceptionally long. To date I have read about 4000 pages in the series and have one more book in node 3 with 1 or more books in node 4. Books have varied from over 600 pages to over 1000 pages.
This book has a nice list of characters in the back encompassing fictional and real people involved in the complex story line. This book would make little sense unless one had at least read the two prior books in this node. Really one must have read nodes 1 and 2 to appreciate this book. Also a number of maps in the back for orientation. Both are great helps.
Highly recommend to those who love Russian history or the Russian revolution and don't mind a multi-year reading experiences.
