A young English woman crosses a North Sea patrolled by German submarines on the first stage of her lengthy journey to the Southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don where she is engaged as a tutor to the teenage daughter of a prosperous industrialist. Within three months the Russian Revolution explodes, and she is caught up in chaotic and bloody months of violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRhoda Power's remarkable record describes with an extraordinary cool eye - and often humorous ear - her growing sense of insecurity and powerlessness as the conventions and divisions of the social order are swept aside in a tumultuous outpouring of repressed resentment, prejudice, vengeful lawlessness, terror and murder. The shell fire and machine-gun bullets of the Battle of Rostov become the soundtrack of her daily life. Death is all around. And the Germans are advancing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1919 as \u003cem\u003eUnder Cossack and Bolshevik\u003c\/em\u003e Rhoda Power's account of an ordered existence degenerating into battles raging in the streets around her and of her perilous escape is a neglected classic of outstanding \"on the ground \" reporting of events at a time when morality and justice no longer exist. Her words bring home the courage of a remarkable woman; although written over 100 years ago, they have a remarkable contemporary resonance and relevance in today's turbulent world of conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Marble Hill Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781068360855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Rhoda Power","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197329633461,"sku":"9781068360855","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_368fb191-3ce4-42b6-aafe-f468ef0dbbdc.jpg?v=1769623235","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/in-the-storm-caught-in-the-chaos-of-the-russian-revolution-1917-18-9781068360855","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
