About This Book

A senior Russian general who commanded forces in Manchuria recounts and analyzes his nation's military policy and the Far Eastern campaign, combining memoir, operational detail, and critical commentary. He attributes defeats and logistical shortcomings to administrative indecision, railway constraints, and divided command with civilian-admiral oversight, argues the conflict was halted before a decisive Russian victory became possible, and exposes internal War Ministry debates. The account balances battlefield narration with reflections on strategy, mobilization, and institutional failures, while insisting on a protest against official judgments and offering evidence and analogy from prior military history to support his critique.
