The doomed White alliance of moderate socialists and reactionary monarchists stood little chance against Trotsky's Red Army and the single-minded Communist dictatorship under Lenin. In the savage civil war that followed, terror begat terror, which in turn led to ever greater cruelty with man's inhumanity to man, woman and child. The struggle became a world war by proxy as Churchill deployed weaponry and troops from the British empire, while contingents from the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Poland, and Czechoslovakia played rival parts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing the most up to date scholarship and archival research, Antony Beevor assembles the complete picture in a gripping narrative that conveys the conflict through the eyes of everyone from the worker on the streets of Petrograd to the cavalry officer on the battlefield and the doctor in an improvised hospital.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntony Beevor is the author of \u003ci\u003eCrete: The Battle and the Resistance\u003c\/i\u003e (Runciman Prize); \u003ci\u003eStalingrad\u003c\/i\u003e (Samuel Johnson Prize, Wolfson Prize for History and Hawthornden Prize); \u003ci\u003eBerlin: The Downfall\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Battle for Spain\u003c\/i\u003e (Premio La Vanguardia); \u003ci\u003eD-Day\u003c\/i\u003e (Prix Henry Malherbe and the RUSI Westminster Medal); \u003ci\u003eThe Second World War\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eArdennes 1944\u003c\/i\u003e (Prix Médicis shortlist); and \u003ci\u003eArnhem\u003c\/i\u003e.
