Setting the East Ablaze

This book tells the story of the Bolshevik attempt, between the two world wars, "to set the East ablaze with the heady new gospel of Marxism. It is an extraordinary tale of intrigue and treachery, barbarism and civil war..."--Flyleaf.

First sentence: "Besides himself, the party included a second British officer-a monacled major named Stewart Blacker, seconded from the Indian Army's elite Corps of Guides."
