Recieived his B.A. at Knox College, 1956, M.A. at University of Chicago, 1961 and Ph.D. at Indiana University, 1965.
His main areas of expertise are Russian history to 1917, the Russian Revolutions, the Soviet Union in World War II, and Soviet-American relations.
His most well-known book, "The Bolsheviks Come to Power: The Revolution of 1917 in Petrograd," was only the second history text by a Western author to be published in the Soviet Union.

He was visiting in the Soviet Union during the August 1991 coup.
