Always with Honor

Always with Honor is the gripping memoir of General Pyotr Wrangel, the last commander of the White Army during the Russian Civil War. In this vivid and unflinching account, Wrangel chronicles the chaos, courage, and tragedy of his struggle against the Bolsheviks—a fight for the soul of Russia amid the collapse of an empire. From the brutal battlefields of the Civil War to the harrowing retreat of his forces into exile, Wrangel reflects on the virtues of duty, loyalty, and the cost of honor in an era of revolution. With keen insight into the political and military strategies that defined the White movement, he provides a rare, firsthand perspective on one of the 20th century’s most tumultuous periods. This Passage Classics release features updated maps and place names, as well as additional appendix material, including a letter from Wrangel to General Denikin written shortly after the war and excerpts from Wrangel’s father’s post-war memoir, From Serfdom to Bolshevism. This is the definitive English-language edition of Wrangel’s memoir.
