Book Synopsis The White Generals by : Richard Luckett

Download or read book The White Generals written by Richard Luckett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
