The Khiva Campaign. 1873. Notes of a Participant
14.99 €
In 1873, Russian troops under the overall command of the Governor-General of Turkestan, K.P. von Kaufmann, made a victorious campaign against Khiva, whose khan had for many years encouraged his subjects to raid Russian possessions. The attack on Khiva was carried out from four directions: from Tashkent, from Orenburg, from Krasnovodsk and from the Mangyshlak peninsula. M. Alikhanov-Avarsky took part in the campaign as part of the Mangyshlak detachment of Colonel Lomakin, all the difficulties on the way of which he described in detail in his memoirs. The author's literary sketches of the nature of the region and the customs of the tribes that inhabited it are also of great interest
The book was first published in 1899 under the title "The campaign to Khiva (Caucasian detachments). 1873. Steppe and oasis". In the present edition, the author's style and the spelling of geographical and ethnographic names adopted in his time have been preserved as much as possible.
