Twilight Over Russia
Twilight Over Russia is a historical fiction by Baron Alexis Petrovich Wrangel recollecting most of the events that were experienced by his father, General Peter Nikolaevich Wrangel (1878-1929). General Wrangel was a member of Tsar Nicholas II's household cavalry, the last and most effective leader of the White Russians in Southern Russia during the Civil War that followed the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, and the organizer of the awe-inspiring exodus of most of his army — some 140,000 Russian people — across the Black Sea to Constantinople. Twilight Over Russia is a thought-engendering expression of pietas, which follows Alexis Wrangel's documentary book, General Wrangel 1878-1928: Russian...

Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich
Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich Romanov (1856–1929) was a key figure in late Imperial Russia, and one of its foremost soldiers. At the outbreak of World War I, his cousin, Tsar Nicholas II, appointed him Supreme Commander of the Russian Army. From 1914 to 1915, and then again briefly in 1917, he was commander of the largest army in the world in the greatest war the world had ever seen. His appointment reflected the fact that he was perhaps the man the last Emperor of Russia trusted the most. At six foot six, the Grand Duke towered over those around him. His fierce temper was a matter of legend. However, as Robinson's vivid account shows, he had a more complex personality than either his sup...
Soviet Cavalry Operations During the Second World War
The author of The Nisibis War analyzes the Red Army’s usage of horse-mounted units along the Soviet-German Eastern Front during World War II. While the development of tanks had largely led to the replacement of cavalry in most armies by 1939, the Soviets retained a strong mounted arm. In the terrain and conditions of the Eastern Front, they were able to play an important role denied them elsewhere. John Harrel shows how the Soviets developed a doctrine of deep penetration, using cavalry formations to strike into the Axis rear, disrupting logistics and lines of communication, encircling and isolating units. Interestingly he also shows that this doctrine did not stem from the native cavalry ...

David Miller, in this, his most recent book The JFK Conspiracy, has not only amassed a wealth of facts in connection with the greatest conspiracy of our age, but he has also succeeded in connecting the dots, adding new ones in turn, unearthing fact upon fact heretofore conveniently ignored or, what is more likely, intentionally buried, and not only by all the usuall suspects.

The 'Russian' Civil Wars, 1916-1926
This volume offers a comprehensive and original analysis and reconceptualisation of the compendium of struggles that wracked the collapsing Tsarist empire and the emergent USSR, profoundly affecting the history of the twentieth century. Indeed, the reverberations of those decade-long wars echo to the present day - not despite, but because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, which re-opened many old wounds, from the Baltic to the Caucasus. Contemporary memorialising and 'de-memorialising' of these wars, therefore form part of the book's focus, but at its heart lie the struggles between various Russian political and military forces which sought to inherit and preserve, or even expand, the ter...
