Hi all,
I am interested in information about the following set of books:
About the revolution and the war:
A People's Tragedy: Russian Revolution, 1891-1924 (Paperback)
by Orlando Figes (Author)
I know there is a section about the war in this book (I skimmed through it at the bookshop today), but I am not sure it would be enough information for me.
Critical Companion to the Russian Revolution, 1914-1921 (Paperback)
by Edward Acton (Editor), V.IU. Cherniaev (Editor), William G. Rosenberg (Editor)
I know Sarmatia1871 said it was a must have, but how much information is there about the war/campaigns in it ?
The Origins of the Russian Civil War (Origins Of Modern Wars) (Paperback)
by G.R. Swain (Author)
More because of the book Swain wrote about the war below.
About the war only ?
Russia's Civil War (Paperback)
by Geoffrey Swain (Author)
He is actually a teacher at the Glasgow Uni, near where I lived.
The Russian Civil War (Hardcover)
by Evan Mawdsley (Author)
Red Victory: A History of the Russian Civil War, 1918-1921 (Paperback)
by W.Bruce Lincoln (Author)
About specific theater and foreign interventions
White Eagle, Red Star: The Polish-Soviet War, 1919-20 (Paperback)
by Norman Davies
Civil War in Siberia: The Anti-Bolshevik Government of Admiral Kolchak, 1918-1920 (Paperback)
by Jonathan D. Smele (Author)
Stamping Out the Virus: Allied Intervention in the Russian Civil War 1918-1920 (Hardcover)
by Perry Moore (Author), Ian Robertson (Author)
I know this book has very very mixed reviews, being more a collections of notes than a real book, but hey, maybe it could be useful.
Between War and Peace: Woodrow Wilson & the American Expeditionary Force in Siberia, 1918-1921 (Hardcover)
by Carol Willcox Melton (Author)
Intervention in Russia 1918-1920: A Cautionary Tale (Hardcover)
by Miles Hudson (Author)
What I am currently looking for is enough information to be able to extract OOBs, understand where the main railtracks were in torn Civil War Russia, understand who the main Generals were and how they were like, have a rough ideas of the fronts and armies positions during the war, their equipment, etc, etc...
In particular, if you know of any book there with good maps of the campaigns of the conflicts, thta would be helpful. So please, if you have read the books above and can write a short comment about it, I would greatly appreciate.
Many thanks,
Cat
