Search for the Red Napoleon

By spring 1919 Ukraine, the 'breadbasket of Europe,' has been reduced to a hellscape by the Great War in Europe and the Russian Civil War. Yet there is a new threat: a dangerous and charismatic Red Army commander who, according to reports, is planning to overthrow the new Bolshevik regime in Moscow. Just as Napoleon Bonaparte had done in France more than a hundred years before, this fanatical leader-the Red Napoleon-will start endless bloody wars to make Russia the dominant power in continental Europe.
This combat journal of a White Russian cavalry officer records his squadron's search for the renegade with orders to engage and kill him. It culminates in the bloodiest, most significant battle in Ukraine during the Russian Civil War. Yet it is not the end-it is only the beginning of something far more sinister that reaches through the years into France, Turkey, and the United States.
