Russian Hussar: A Story of the Imperial Cavalry 1911-1920

Captain Littauer served in the Russian Imperial Cavalry from 1911 to 1920, fighting on horseback in both the First World War and the Russian Revolution. With quiet humour he vividly describes a now-forgotten world, leaving the readers feeling as if they had lived, laughed and fought alongside the author. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in or studying Russia, horses, cavalry warfare, life under the Tzar and European military history.
