If you are interested in the Russian Civil War (1917-1922), this
contains a rare and new eyewitness account from the White Russian
side. Efimij Mokrij participated as part of Denikin's Volunteer
army in his teens, and later wrote about his experiences. The book
was compiled and translated from a handwritten notebook after the
author's death. He recounts how the over-stretched and disorganised
army found itself in full retreat south to Rostov-on-Don. He did
not know it then, but he was never to see or correspond with his
family again. Later in World War 2, settled as a White emigre in
Serbia, he was witness to a Nazi massacre, and narrowly escaped
with his life by playing dead. He put his wife and young son on a
train, and enlisted in the Axis-affiliated Russian Corps. At the
end of the War, many of the Corps' ex-members were handed over by
the Allies to Stalin's SMERSH agents, and hanged in Moscow as
traitors. He survived. This book is his story in his words.
