P003372Buenos Aires: Izd. Argentinskogo otdela Russkogo Obsche-voinskogo soiuza 1957. Octavo 19 à 14. Modern quarter cloth over boards with original printed wrappers preserved; 117 2 pp. Very good. This émigré commemorative volume is dedicated to General Mikhail Alekseev 1857-1918 founder of the White resistance movement. The volume celebrates Alekseev's centenary and 40 years since the Bolshevik Revolution and the formation of the White Volunteer Army in November 1917. A veteran of the Russo-Japanese War of 1905 and WWI Alekseev maintained close relations with the Czar Nicholas II serving as his Chief of Staff. In this capacity after the February Revolution Alekseev along with a number of other officials advised the Czar to abdicate advice which the Czar eventually followed. Subsequently Alekseev briefly and reluctantly operated under the Provisional Government. After the October Revolution he along with General Kornilov began to form the anti-Bolshevik Volunteer Army which he led until his death in 1918. The pamphlet was printed by the Argentine section of the Russian All-Military Union an émigré military organization founded in 1924 by General Wrangel in Serbia with the aim of connecting all Russian émigré military personal in various countries. The organization though anti-communist tried to hold a neutral political position uniting a variety of political opinions of more than one hundred thousand of its members. As such this publication points out General Alekseev's "modest origins" highlighting the class diversity of the White movement.

Old library stamps on first two leaves; contemporary ownership inscription on titlepage. Errata slip pasted to verso of titlepage. Very good. Untrimmed. In 1807 Gen. John Whitelocke was sent to the Rio de la Plata with a large force. His goal was to reinforce British troops already operating there and in Argentina and to seize Buenos Aires a move designed to open up the markets of South America to British commerce and replace those lost on the Continent by Napoleon's blockade. Despite his large force Whitelocke proceeded cautiously and ineptly further hampered by bad weather. The assault on Buenos Aires was met by civilian as well as military resistance when the British had expected local merchants to welcome them with open arms. Craufurd commanded a light brigade which led the attack on Buenos Aires and successfully achieved its objectives. However a large part of the attacking force was cut off and forced to surrender while Whitelocke napped in his tent and Craufurd's brigade was ordered to surrender with the rest of the British force. Santiago Liniers the Spanish commander proposed a truce if the British would promise to withdraw in two months but said he could not answer for the safety of the prisoners if the attack was renewed. Feeling that the object of the expedition was now untenable Whitelocke accepted those terms. The British withdrew to Montevideo and then to England losing what might have been a foothold in South America. Whitelocke was the subject of the greatest scorn on returning to England where he was court-martialed and cashiered. Though this work is sometimes attributed to Gen. Whitelocke the accusatory and wounded tone of the narrative makes that unlikely. SABIN 103672. PALAU 375051. HALKETT & LAING 1 p.164. DNB online. hardcover books
