520    "The classic study of resistance to Tsarist Russian 
       colonialism, the genocide that followed, and its 
       connection to the Bolshevik Revolution. In 1916, Tzar 
       Nicholas II began drafting Russian subjects across Central
       Asia to fight in World War I. By summer, the widespread 
       resistance of Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Tajiks, Turkmen, and Uzbeks
       turned into an outright revolt. The Russian Imperial Army 
       killed approximately 270,000 of these people, while tens 
       of thousands more died in their attempt to escape into 
       China. Suppressed during the Soviet Era and nearly lost to
       history, knowledge of this horrific incident is remembered
       thanks to Edward Dennis Sokol's pioneering Revolt of 1916 
       in Russian Central Asia. This wide-ranging and 
       exhaustively researched book explores the Tsarist policies
       that led to Russian encroachment against the land and 
       rights of the indigenous Central Asian people. It 
       describes the corruption that permeated Russian colonial 
       rule and argues that the uprising was no mere draft riot, 
       but a revolt against Tsarist colonialism in all its 
       dimensions: economic, political, religious, and national. 
       Sokol's masterpiece also traces the chain reaction between
       the uprising, the collapse of Tsarism, and the Bolshevik 
       Revolution."--|cProvided by Freading.
