Reviews

"In historical studies as in legend, says Bisher, the Cossacks tend to appear as shadowy barbarians in the corner of the eye rather than as central players. An American veteran of international security programs with a long interest in the Russian Revolution, he describes the Cossack warlords by their actions, words, and the impressions on those around them in order to flesh out their role in the Russian Civil War, to dispel common rumors and disinformation, and to place the conflict in the Russian Far East in strategic perspective. He focuses on the infamous warlords that operated along the Trans-Siberian Railway from Irkutsk on Lake Baikalto Vladivostok on the Pacific Ocean." --Reference & Research Book News
