Covering the horrors that took place in Latvia from the beginning of the Second World War until 1947, th...

Concentrating on the turbulent months from February 1917 to November 1918, Geoffrey Swain explores the origins of the Civil War against the wider background of revolutionary Russia.

If the war itself can seem a fairly straightforward line-up of...

The Soviet Union ev...

During the Red Army's first major war, its ill-equipped, starving troops fought fellow countrymen and an invasion force of 10, 000 American, British, and French soldiers in the freezing wastelands of Siberia and the Ukraine. A brutal and fast-moving war, sieges were broken by fiercely armored trains immortalized in Dr. Zhivago. Land battles in the frozen east of Europe such as Kazan and Kakhovka were very different from those fought in the wes...
