Douglas Brunt reconstructs Emanuel Nobel's industrial and oil empire and follows its entanglement with the Romanovs, revolutionaries, war, and the transformation of global energy.
The book connects imperial Russia and revolution to industry, technology, and the international competition for resources.
Why I include it
Read this after Solzhenitsyn to shift from the experience of coercion to the institutions, capital, and energy systems surrounding revolution.
