A unique volume on a neglected area of military history. At the revolution, the Tsars navy, such as it was, was obsolete and scattered, much of it never to return home. From a standing start a huge fleet was built by the Bolsheviks, who were obliged to deal with the West: engines from Italy, warship plans and gun turrets from Germany (in exchange for 3.5 million tons of food and material as late as February 1940). Stalin himself took a deadly, keen interest, insisting for example that at the last moment the boilers on a new Soviet destroyer class were repositioned. It was done! With more than 200 photographs, most previously unpublished, the pictorial content alone of Raising the Red Banner is of immense interest to naval enthusiasts and students of the Second World War.
