| Notes | "....the first part of this major work, is set at the outbreak of the First World War, and its moral concern is to establish the responsibility for Russia's defeat in the battle of Tannenberg. Limiting itself to the opening two weeks of the war, the novel describes the Russian offensive into east Prussia, which resulted in the encirclement and defeat of General Samsonov's Second Army by Hindenburg. This disaster revealed the dry rot at the core of Tsarism and hastened its downfall." (from inside flap.) |
