Description
Between 1917 and 1921, a devastating struggle took place in Russia, following the collapse of the Tsarist empire. This savage civil war is widely regarded as one of the most influential events of the modern era. The conflict pitted a White alliance of moderate socialists and reactionary monarchists against the Red Army and Lenin's Communist dictatorship. As the struggle escalated, it became a world war by proxy, with the British Empire, the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Poland, and Czechoslovakia all playing rival parts. Antony Beevor, author of Stalingrad, uses the most up-to-date scholarship and archival research to assemble a gripping narrative that brings the conflict to life through the stories of ordinary people, from workers on the streets to cavalry officers on the battlefield and women doctors in improvised hospitals.
