Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert Vincent "Bill" Daniels (1926 - 2010) was an American historian and educator specializing in the history of the Soviet Union. He is best remembered as the author of two seminal monographs on the history of Soviet Russia -The Conscience of the Revolution (1960) and Red October (1967) - and as author or editor of an array of widely used Russian history textbooks which helped to shape the thinking of two generations of American college students. Robert V. Daniels, known to his friends and acquaintances by the nickname "Bill," was born on January 4, 1926 in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the son of Robert W. Daniels, a career officer in the United States Army, and Helen Hoyt Daniels. The Daniels family moved extensively throughout Bill's childhood, but he generally returned each summer to Burlington, Vermont, the town from whence his parents hailed and where his grandparents remained.
