The book shows samples of the previously inaccessible spiritual heritage of the best military authors of the Russian post-October emigration: A.A. Kersnovsky, N.N. Golovin, A.K. Baiova and others. Some of the works in the homeland are published for the first time. They contain views on war and peace, the nature and purpose of the armed force, a critical analysis of the pre-revolutionary domestic military system and attempts to model the "future Russian army."
