Aleksandr Vasil'evich Kolchak is by right one of the most famous and significant figures in the military-political history of Russia in the beginning of the twentieth century. However, despite the considerably large amount of literature about this person, many aspects of his work remain shrouded in shadow to this day. This book about Admiral Kolchak-the polar researcher, naval commander, military theorist, supreme ruler-contains detailed analysis of his views and actions, plans and operational decisions, internal and foreign policy, and relationships with his colleagues and opponents. All of the author's conclusions and findings are confirmed by documents, many published for the first time.
