War and Revolution in Asiatic Russia (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A vivid eyewitness account of war, revolution, and new cooperation across a restless borderland.

The book combines battlefield observation with on-the-ground lessons in how revolutionary ideas reshaped governance and daily life. It follows Armenian volunteers under fire, Russian troops on distant hills, and the emergence of local executive bodies that include workers, soldiers, and diverse national groups. Across Kars, Tiflis, and Turkestan, old rulers fall, and new forms of peoples’ power begin to take hold, sometimes with remarkable cooperation among former enemies. The narrative stays close to people—officers, medic staff, villagers, and activists—as they navigate danger, hunger, and the promise of a shared future.

- Witness the day-to-day reality of frontline fighting and artillery duels in difficult terrain.
- Meet volunteers and soldiers from varied backgrounds who shape local revolutionary committees.
- See how civil and military authority evolves through unions, councils, and inter-ethnic cooperation.
- Observe the broader political shift as old regimes lose power and new provisional governments arise.

Ideal for readers of modern history, revolutions, and the human side of geopolitical change.
