About the book: 2005 / Book by military historian N.D. Karpova talks about the participants of the White movement, about those who fought under the banner of anti-Bolshevik formations during the Civil War, but were defeated and forever went down in history as irreconcilable opponents of the “most advanced” system. They formed divisions, corps and even armies, understood their duty to the Motherland in their own way and fulfilled it as best they could. Readers of the book are given the opportunity to familiarize themselves with little-known and unknown episodes of a number of military events. They are interesting because they relate to the final and most dramatic period of the Civil War in the South of Russia and are mostly described by the soldiers, officers and generals of the White armies themselves. In presenting them, the author used archival documents, diaries and memoirs of participants in the White movement, published at different times abroad..
