Re: A2 history coursework sources on kerensky and the provisional government?!Hi,
There's loads of good stuff out there. Here's a list, in a rough order of what I've found best (ie, best mix of fact / opinion / readability / reputability)
Rethinking the Russian Revolution - Edward Acton
-The Russian Revolution - Graham Darby
-A People's Tragedy - Orlando Figes
-Years of Russia and the USSR, 1851 – 1991 – Evans and Jenkins (Hodder and Stoughton 2001)
-The Russian Revolution 1900–1927 (4th Edition) – Robert Service
I'm not doing work on your title, but I have found these very good for sources on feb 1917 revolution, and there seemed to be lots on Provisional Government matters too -so no promises on quality but I think it's a good place to start.
In return, I don't suppose you would have come across any good sources that would offer data on Brusilov offensive of 1916?
Thanks in advance! -

Re: A2 history coursework sources on kerensky and the provisional government?!The Acton book mentioned above was an absolute GOLDMINE for historiography when I did my PS. Just use textbooks for general info. But Acton goes some way into explaining Kerensky the PG et al. with all the schools of historiography considered
