It chronicles the complexities of the Russian military campaign in Galicia, detailing the socio-political dynamics and the conditions of the soldiers in the field, as well as their
interactions with locals in the territories they occupied. The opening of this work introduces the author’s background and insights gained from years of interest in Russia, which positions him as an informed observer as the war begins.
