Description:Shortly after withdrawing from WWI, Russia descended into a bitter civil war unprecedented for its savagery: epidemics, battles, mass executions, forced labor & famine claimed millions of lives. From 1918 to 1921, thru great cities & tiny villages, across untouched forests & vast frozen wasteland, the Bolshevik Reds fought the anti-Communist Whites & their Allies (14 foreign countries contributed weapons, money & troops--including 20,000 US soldiers). This landmark history recreates the epic conflict that transformed Russia from the Empire of the Tsars into the Empire of the Commissars, while never losing sight of the horrifying human cost.PrefaceMajor Characters1 1918: PrologueThe hungry spring The fighting begins"The expropriation of the expropriators"First days of terror The allies intervene 2 1919: Denikin & the CossacksSiberia's supreme ruler The Petrograd front The Ukraine in fermentIn the red heart of Russia3 1920: The struggle to survive"Give us Warsaw!"
