Upon his arrival in Petrograd in 1919, Victor Serge, the great chronicler of the Russian Revolution, found a society nearly shattered by civil war. In these essays, he sketches a portrait of the darkest hours faced by the fledgling revolution, defending the new regime against its critics.

Revolution In Danger offers a vivid account of the trials faced during this tumultuous time and Serge's unwavering commitment to documenting the truth of the revolutionary cause. His insights remain a significant contribution to understanding the complexities and challenges of early revolutionary Russia.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

"The novels, poems, memoirs and other writings of Victor Serge are among the finest works of literature inspired by the October Revolution that brought the working class to power in Russia in 1917. But young radicals often have only a vague sense of him -- and sometimes not even that. The appearance of two collections of his work in Haymarket editions is a welcome development. It's never too late for activists to discover Serge, but when you do, it feels like a revelation."
— Scott McLemee
