On the shores of the Don, the first act of a great Russian tragedy unfolded—while along the coastline of the Pacific the climax came. The Civil War split the people into two hostile camps. Those who didn’t break their oath to the Russian emperor fought those who rallied under red banners. The book by historian Oleg Goncharenko tells about the years of the Russian Troubles and about everyday combat life on the battlefronts of the Civil War.
The book is written in an accessible literary language. Excellent material has been gathered, including from foreign sources. One of the best historical works about the “White Movement.”
