|  | Red Victory by W. Bruce Lincoln
From 1918 to 1921, Russia descended into a bitter civil war unprecedented for its savagery: epidemics, battles, mass executions, forced labor, and famine claimed millions of lives. Through great cities and tiny villages, across untouched forests and vast frozen wasteland, the Bolshevik Reds fought the anti-Communist Whites and their Allies (fourteen foreign countries contributed weapons, money, and troops -- including 20,000 American soldiers). This landmark history re-creates the epic conflict that transformed Russia from the Empire of the Tsars into the Empire of the Commissars, while never losing sight of the horrifying human cost.
