Excellent- More about Russian Civil War, 1918-1921: An Operational-Strategic Sketch of the Red Army's Combat Operations
The Russian Civil War was a three-year struggle that established a totalitarian communist regime in the former Russian Empire. This volume of the Soviet official history provides an in-depth description and analysis of the war's major operations, arguing for the political reasons behind the Bolsheviks' military strategy and eventual success against their White opponents. It is the most objective account of the struggle to emerge from the Soviet Union before the collapse of the communist system in 1991.

The Russian Civil War, a pivotal military conflict of the 20th century, unfolded over three grueling years, resulting in the establishment of a totalitarian communist regime within the former Russian Empire. This war, which concluded one hundred years ago, holds the attention of military specialists and laypersons alike as we commemorate its end. This work, the third volume of the three-volume Soviet official history of the Russian Civil War, was published in 1928-1930, just before the Stalinist orthodoxy took hold. While the preceding volumes delved into the intricacies of the Red Army's organizational development and military prowess, this volume offers a comprehensive account and analysis of the major operations across various fronts. These fronts included the North Caucasus, the Don and Volga rivers, the White Sea area, the Baltic States, Ukraine, Siberia, and Poland. Furthermore, it presents a compelling argument for the political motivations behind the Bolsheviks' military strategy and their eventual triumph over their White opponents. While it undeniably carries a partisan bias and a clear political agenda, this work manages to steer clear of many of the prevailing myths that later clouded the understanding of this crucial period. As such, it stands as the most objective account of the struggle to emerge from the Soviet Union prior to the collapse of the communist system in 1991.
