Synopsis

Often overshadowed by the drama of its catastrophic collapse in the November 1917 Revolution, the Imperial Russian Armys record in 1914-16 included some notable victories.

Its human qualities of patriotism and endurance were remarkable, and in 1916 the Brusilov Offensive on the South-Western Front outdistanced anything that was being achieved in France. The variety of its uniforms - infantry and cavalry, Guards and Line, Cossacks, armour and Air Service crewmen, even a priest - are splendidly captured here by Russias leading military artist.

Nik Cornishs expert text is supported by tables of insignia and many rare photographs.
