The Russian Army 1914-18 [MAA364]

MAA 364
The Russian Army 1914–18
Often overshadowed by the drama of its catastrophic collapse in the November 1917 Revolution, the Imperial Russian Army’s record in 1914-16 included some notable victories. Its human qualities of patriotism and endurance were remarkable, and in 1916 the ‘Brusilov Offensive’ on the South-Western Front outdistanced anything that was being achieved in France. The variety and romance of its uniforms – infantry and cavalry, Guards and Line, Cossacks, armour and Air Service crewmen, even a priest – are splendidly captured here by Russia’s leading military artist; and Nik Cornish’s expert text is supported by tables of insignia and many rare photographs.
