About this book
Ice March - Ледяной поход by Roman Gul plunges listeners into the frostbitten ordeal of the Volunteer Army's first Kuban campaign under General Kornilov during the Russian Civil War. Gul's vivid memoirs combine frontline immediacy with reflective observation, chronicling the army’s grueling march with fighting from Rostov-on-Don to Yekaterinodar and the desperate return to the Don in 1918.
Part personal testament, part military chronicle, this audiobook captures the harsh landscape, logistical hardship, and moral complexity of civil conflict. Gul documents daily life amid snow and mud, the strain on soldiers and commanders, and the fragile bonds of loyalty that held men together. The narrative situates the Ice March within the wider collapse and upheaval of revolutionary Russia while illuminating the small, human moments that history books often miss. Written with the crisp detail of a memoir and the tension of war stories, the account balances tactical description and poignant reflection without romanticizing violence.
Ideal for listeners who favor memoirs, military history, and immersive war stories, Ice March - Ледяной поход offers a powerful, firsthand perspective on one of the Russian Civil War’s most harrowing episodes.
