Leading the anti-communist “White” forces against the new “Red” army to the end was Pyotr Wrangel. Wrangel, a career cavalry officer who fought with distinction in the Russo-Japanese War and World War i, found himself at the center of various intrigues in the early stages of the Russian Revolution. After narrowly escaping death at the hands of a Bolshevik execution squad, Wrangel joined the Volunteer Army of General Denikin. Although Wrangel accomplished the impossible repeatedly, leading his tiny cavalry force to victory over communist units many times its size, he was unable to persuade Denikin to abandon an ill-planned assault on Moscow. After that offensive failed, the Volunteer Army collapsed.
Widely recognized for his tactical brilliance and unimpeachable character, Wrangel accepted the burden of command over the last remnant of anti-communist forces. Under his leadership the outnumbered and out-gunned White Army launched a devastating counterattack, retaking Crimea and the surrounding area from the Reds. There, he and his remaining men staged a heroic defense while attempting to obtain international support. After Russia was abandoned by its former allies and his position became untenable, Wrangel personally directed the evacuation of his Army and thousands of civilian refugees.
Wrangel published his memoirs in 1928, shortly before his death. Although the book was translated into English in 1929, it eventually fell out-of-print. For more than 60 years, no new copies were made. The few remaining used editions became unaffordable for the average reader. We are proud to make the memoirs of one of the greatest champions in the fight for civilization available to the public once again.

And the way he describes situations, people and the horrors of the war is really vivid
This book is more than extraordinary. Pytor Wrangel, and all that he stood for and achieved go beyond what syntax can describe.
My beard grew thicker, healthier, longer. I can now operate for days just off long blinks. What my max bench was before reading this is now my warm-up. I’d fight Charles Bronson in his prime—Hell in a Cell style.
If you love history and want to teleport back in time to vicariously relive those moments of glory, pain, and sorrow that encapsulated this man and his beloved country’s struggle against the physical manifestation of the principalities of darkness, or if you’re just simply curious to see a level of masculinity, awareness, and integrity that is almost extinct in our current epoch—read this book!
If you simply just need the sissy knocked out of you… READ THIS BOOK!!!
Buy this book. You will see the errors of your ways and you will become better for it. You will see what real leadership and integrity is. Your family and friends will look up to you, for once.
The paper this book is printed on will stop a bullet. (Yes, I'm serious.)
This book should be standard reading in any 6th grade English class. If it were, there would be no more wars. There would be no more starvation. There would be no more strife. The world would be an objectively better place to live.
Buy this book. Buy it for your friends. Buy it for your mother. Don't be a coward.
The General's memoir also does well to make note of the foolishness and incompetence of the authorities of the time, whose unprincipled and cowardly actions, or lack thereof, permitted the downfall of their own homeland.
I myself am thankful to the publisher for preserving this, that the knowledge transfer is not disrupted or lost due the whims of a destructive class of usurpers, who motivated by bitterness and can only rule by extortion.
An excerpt of the book of note:
"The Government, or rather the Soviet, suppressed the Conservative newspapers, whilst the Press of the Left continued its campaign against the Army.
Investigations were the order of the day. A search was made even in the house of the Dowager-Empress, who lived in the Crimea, and this, mark you, by order of the authorities.
And these gentlemen of the Government, who till recently had been reproaching the Czar for his weakness and despotism, now showed themselves to be far weaker, far more irresolute than he had been, and much more foolish than the high officials of the regime they had overthrown."
Now, you have a first hand account that proudly states its biases and shortfalls, while also being the account of an important individual during this tumultuous time in history. in just the first 20 pages, the reader can see that this revolution is a foreign regime change operation, that the entire apparatus of government is subverted with many officials colluding with this outside force or simply being too inept to stop it. With some having ambitions to perhaps secure a higher standing in the future Soviet government, members of government, military, press, and intelligentsia betrayed their own country. so much more is said in these pages, but suffice to say that through the simple words of General Wrangel, one obtains a near-complete picture of the moods and issues of 1917 Russia.
This book is a gem and is clearly worth reading if you want to really round out your understanding of the 20th century.

Originally published in 1928 and coming in at around 300 pages, Wrangel’s account of his part in the White Army’s courageous, but ultimately futile, war in the defence of civilisation is an important historical record of one of history’s great turning points. Having seen the destruction Bolshevism had wrought on Russia, Wrangel realised early on the civilisational threat communism posed to the wider world and understood the implications for humanity if the Bolsheviks triumphed. Betrayed by Russia’s so-called ‘allies’ and left to face the Red onslaught alone, Wrangel is particularly scathing about the naivety of Western governments and their inability to realise the long term consequences of a communist victory. The main target of his vitriol is the left-leaning British government of David Lloyd George which he [correctly] considers to be sympathetic to Bolshevism and foolishly confident of placating the communist threat with trade and diplomacy.
The events of the past century have vindicated men like Pyotr Wrangel. In just 70-odd years following his death communism would be responsible for over 100 million deaths and would wreak social, economic, moral and spiritual havoc wherever it reared its evil head. As the West itself now descends into barbarism and civilisation collapses around us at the hands of the Marxist Left and their establishment enablers, we need to hear the long-forgotten voices of men like Wrangel more than ever. Well done Mystery Grove Publishing for bringing these memoirs to a modern audience.
