This massive 1938 publication by the General Staff of the Red Army is a vital scholarly resource documenting the Warsaw-Ivangorod Operation, one of the most significant strategic encounters on the Eastern Front during the opening months of World War I. Spanning September to early November 1914, this maneuverable phase of the war saw the Imperial Russian Army successfully repel a major offensive by combined Austro-German forces, securing a critical victory for the Entente.
The volume consists of an exhaustive collection of primary source documents, including operational orders, reports, and telegrams from the front lines. These materials provide an unfiltered look at the decision-making processes of the Russian High Command and the tactical realities of early 20th-century warfare. The inclusion of the separate folder of diagrams and maps (notably produced by Voenizdat) highlights the logistical and geographic complexity of an operation that covered a vast front in Poland.
The "world imperialist war" terminology used in the title reflects the historiographical approach of the People's Commissariat of Defense (NKO) during the late 1930s. Despite the ideological framing, the technical and military analysis within remains rigorous, as the Red Army General Staff studied these Imperial-era battles intensely to prepare for future conflicts.
The physical presentation is typical of high-level academic military editions of the Stalinist era, featuring a durable calico binding with striking silver embossing. For military historians, researchers of World War I, and collectors of Red Army General Staff publications, this work is a cornerstone primary source on Russian strategic successes and the immense human cost of the Great War's Eastern Front.
