Essays on the Russian Tumult

General Anton Denikin (1872–1947) – a major military and political figure in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century, a vivid representative of the White movement. He participated in the Russo-Japanese War, met World War I as a major general, and ended as the commander-in-chief of the armies of the Southwestern Front. During the Civil War, he was the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, later the commander-in-chief of the White Armed Forces of Southern Russia. In the famous general's book, we see the history of Russia as it was over nearly fifty years. This includes descriptions of military campaigns, vivid depictions of the life of the Russian army, portraits of military leaders and statesmen, and a detailed account of the events of the Civil War, along with a deep analysis of the political situation during those troubled years.
