Sommario/riassunto

Vladimir Emmanuel was a cavalry captain who fought against the Germans and later the Red Army in the Crimea. He created a wonderful set of color illustrations of the regiments he fought with in the early days of the war. The Russian Imperial Cavalry in 1914 details the uniforms of most of the Russian cavalry that went to war in 1914 as well as information from two WWI veterans, an explanation of ranks and order of battle. It is a must for the collect of anyone interested in the Great War and/or Russian military history.
