Volume 3 БЕСПЛАТНО EPUB - DOC - DJVU - RTF - PDFОписание: As I wrote a year ago, victory was won potentially when the character of the Russian people was crystallized, no matter whether the actual fighting continues one year longer or five.For in wars, even as in private life, it is character, given only time to adjust itself to circumstances, that wins. Guns wear out, ammunition is shot away, and all material assets disappear, but character is the one enduring value without which neither man nor nation can permanently prosper. The retreat from Warsaw, with the subsequent check to the German invasion a year ago, marked the turning of the tide, for it was the Russian capacity to accept defeat without loss of morale or confidence in ultimate victory that has made possible the renaissance of the army this year. . .
