Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Federal Magazine and "the All-Red Mail" Midsummer, 1918
The Bavarian scholar of the sixties, M. Cariere, in his well-known book, History of Art in Relation to the Development of Civilisation, wrote, among other things: The Slav takes the sword to defend the homeland, but not in order to make a living by arms. He is never mercenary. Herein consists the Slavonic, and more particularly the Russian, power of service, many a time bordering upon the sublime.
