Description
This book brings to light Russia’s undeservedly-obscure military past, rectifying the tendency of American and Western military historians to neglect the Russian side of things. While including operational and tactical detail that appeals to military history enthusiasts, this book simultaneously integrates military history into the broader themes of Russian history and draws comparisons to developments in Europe. Stone traces Russia’s fascinating military history, and its long struggle to master Western military technology without Western social and political institutions. The book then covers imperial Russia’s long struggle to reform its military machine, with mixed results in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Tags
