The Russian Civil War (2) - White Armies

Informationen zum Autor Mikhail Khvostov Klappentext Soon after the 1917 February revolution, and the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, the White cause began to emerge and oppose the Bolsheviks. There was, however, no single, united White Army to fight the Red Army and the forces available to the Whites represented a spectrum of political factions including monarchist military organisations and social-democrats. Many of the Cossack hosts also sided with the Whites, seeing it as an opportunity to create their own independent states; others remained neutral or hostile to both sides. This fascinating text by Mikhail Khvostov examines the colourful uniforms and the equipment of the White armies of the Russian Civil War. Zusammenfassung This illustrated book describes the uniforms, insignia, weaponry, campaigns and military practices of the White Army in the Russian Civil War of 1917-26, who fought in opposition to the Bolshevik revolution as well as German forces, during the last years of World War One.
