The Russian Civil War 1918–22

The Russian Civil War 1918–22 cover

Description

The Russian Civil War was arguably the most important civil war of the 20th century, changing the lives of over half a billion people and dramatically shaping the geography of Europe and Asia.

Over a four-year period 20 countries battled in a crucible that would give birth to Communist revolutions worldwide and the Cold War. David Bullock offers a fresh perspective on this conflict, examining the forces involved, as well as the fascinating intervention by Allied forces. At the dawn of modern war, as cavalry duelled with tanks, aircraft, and armoured trains along shifting fronts, this title tells a military story enacted against a backdrop of political and social revolution and within the context of immense human loss.

Now in e-guide format, this concise introduction brings this story to life.
