The book about one of the leaders of the White movement, Pyotr Nikolaevich Wrangel, traces his life as a brilliant guards officer in Tsarist Russia, who received the rank of general in his thirteenth year of service, to the Supreme Ruler of Crimea and the head of the Russian emigration. The author, the famous writer and historian Boris Sokolov, makes convincing assumptions about historical alternatives: what the fate of the White movement would have been if Wrangel had led it from the very beginning, and what would have changed if he had managed to conclude an alliance with Poland in the fall of 1920. The biography tells how the textbook well-known image of a general in a Circassian coat appeared, why Wrangel did not support Kornilov’s speech against Kerensky, what the essence of his conflict with Denikin was, how the evacuation of whites from Crimea actually took place in November 1920, and what was the true cause of his death , whom contemporaries called the last white knight and the bloody black baron.
