Articles and Books
Various articles, books and materials I have written, translated or assembled over the years, arranged into sections that relate to the same period or place.
The newest material is on the top.
Warsaw 1920
Material relating to the Battle of Warsaw in August 1920.
Recently has added Wałigora's Battle for the Outskirts of Warsaw, August 1920, which describes the fighting for Radzymin, Wołomin and Ossów in great detail, with lots of maps and full orders of battle for the Poles.
It also includes the bulk of Wladyslaw Sikorski's book, From the Vistula to Wkra, also published in French as "La Campagne Polono-Russe de 1920".
The First Horse Army in Ukraine and Poland 
Material, from both sides and neutrals, relating to the Konarmia's campaign in mid-1920 in Ukraine and Poland. Still under construction, with more material arriving late 2023.
North-Western Theatre
A collection of books and other information, such as orders of battle and uniforms, that should aid those interested in gaming the North-Western Theatre, from Estonia to Petrograd, in 1919.
Campaigns and Horses
This is the memoirs of Sergei Mamontov, who fought with the Volunteer Army horse artillery through almost the entire war. This is my favourite book on the war, mixing personal experiences with discussions of horse artillery tactics from a man who served a gun first hand.

Short accounts of the various campaigns by people who were actually there.
The War in Russia and Siberia
Sections of Ludovic Grondijs's epic "La Guerre en Russie et en Siberie" in English and French pertaining to Siberia in the Russian Civil War. Not just an eye-witness, but one who spent a lot of time in the front lines. Includes sections with Kolchak's army and with the Japanese.
Crimea 1919
In 1919 the Crimea fell to the Reds, only to be reconquered by the Whites a few months later. The main course of events is given from the Red side, which can be difficult to find for a Soviet failure.
