Sketches of Russian Turmoil

General Anton Denikin (1872–1947) — the largest military and political figure of Russia in the early 20th century, a prominent representative of the White movement. He took part in the Russo-Japanese War, met World War I as a major general, and ended his career as commander-in-chief of the armies of the Southwestern Front. In the Civil War, he was commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, and afterward he served as chief commander of the White Armed Forces of the South of Russia. In this book by the famous general, we see the history of Russia as it unfolded over nearly fifty years. Here are descriptions of military campaigns, vivid scenes of life in the Russian army, portraits of military leaders and statesmen, and a detailed account of events of the Civil War, along with a deep analysis of the political situation in those troubled years.
