Book Synopsis
In December 1917, nine months after the disintegration of the Russian monarchy, the army officer corps, one of the dynasty's prime pillars, finally fell - a collapse that, in light of World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution, historians often treat as inevitable. Roger Reese contests this assumption in this fascinating book.

Trade Review
Reese’s comprehensive social history takes readers beyond the battlefield to examine living conditions, military education, and officer-soldier relations in the late Imperial Russian Army. He argues that the officer corps’ incompetence, abusive behavior, and reactionary attitudes eventually drove the soldiery to revolt. Thorough, critical, and well written, The Imperial Russian Army in Peace, War, and Revolution, 1856–1917 challenges numerous myths and presents a provocative new explanation for Russia’s collapse in 1917." - Paul Robinson, author of Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich: Supreme Commander of the Russian Army
