Publisher's file copy with a bookplate and a large stamp on the front endleaves. Topedge a bit soiled else just about fine in a soiled, good only dust jacket with some edge loss (mostly confined to the spine ends and bottom edge of the rear panel). Founder of the cheerily named Russian "Women's Battalion of Death" in WWI, Botchkareva become internationally famous near the end of the war, meeting with world leaders like Woodrow Wilson and King George V of England. Later labeled anti-revolutionary by the Bolsheviks, she was executed by them in 1920.
