225 pages. "When the war in Europe ended, millions of Russian men, women and children sought sanctuary and freedom in the west. They met terror face-to-face. They were physically beaten into submission, and then shipped like cattle back to the U.S.S.R. to face Stalin's executioners or to serve long sentences in concentration camps... The author claims that this brutal appeasement... was initiated and carried out by the Allied Supreme Commander, General Dwight Eisenhower. From Survivors the author obtained the details of the Cossacks' fight for freedom from 1941 to 1945, and from them he learned the method used by the British to betray them." - from inside front cover.

"Wallace [1841-1919] a newspaper correspondent, editor and author was engaged in qualifying for a professorship in Comparative Law in Germany when he accepted a private invitation to visit Russia. Wallace had expressed a desire to study the Ossetes, a peculiar Aryan tribe in the Caucasus. However, he remained in Russia nearly six years, studying not the Ossetes but the Russians. He familiarized himself thoroughly with the life of the people by settling for long periods in remote villages. In 1876 he returned to England where he published the above volume, his most famous work. It met with instant success and went through several editions and was translated into many languages. It was twice revised by Wallace (1905 & 1912) and remains the standard authority on Russia before the 1917 revolution." Scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! RUSSIA/1
