First published in 1948, Drozdovtsy Under Fire is widely considered to be the definitive Russian Civil War combat memoir. Written by decorated front-line White commander Anton Turkul, the book recounts the journey of the legendary and elite Drozdovsky Division from the former frontlines of World War I to an unending stream of vicious battles against the Bolsheviks. Turkul takes readers through every stage of the Russian Civil War, from the early victories against overwhelming odds to the bitter final retreat from Crimea, with a vividness that takes the reader as close to the battlefield as one can get.
