The White Generals : An Account of the White Movement and the Russian Civil War Hardback
by Richard Luckett
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: The Russian Civil War series
Hardback
Description
This account of the Russian Civil War, originally published in 1971, combines a vivid narrative of the military events with a biographical discussion of the White Generals, figures of the former Imperial Russian Army offices who led the separate campaigns against the Red Soviets - men such as Kornilov, Alekseev, Kolchak, Denikin, Wrangel, Yudenich and the Finnish Yudeniol Marshal Mannerheim.
Despite their shared designation, the White Generals had no common programme.
Their tragedy was that Lenin's dogmatism, intransigence and ruthlessness, all essential qualities in a country which had never known anything other than autocracy, were alien to their characters.
