What Stands Out
Product Details
- The Bloody White Baron by James Palmer is a historical paperback focusing on Roman Ungern von Sternberg, a Baltic aristocrat known for his violent and headstrong nature.
- The book delves into Ungern von Sternberg's exploits in Siberia and Mongolia before the First World War, and his subsequent command of a formidable cavalry force during the Bolshevik Revolution.
- Ungern von Sternberg's conquest of Mongolia, accomplished with a cavalry army, marks the last time in history a country was seized in such a manner.
- The narrative portrays the Baron as a Kurtz-like figure, with a propensity for slaughtering individuals suspected of irreligion or being Jewish, foreshadowing later atrocities in Russia and beyond.
- James Palmer's work is acclaimed for its epic portrayal of this overlooked historical episode, firmly establishing him as a distinguished popular historian.
- The book offers a gripping and informative account of Ungern von Sternberg's enigmatic and brutal legacy, shedding light on a lesser-known yet significant period of history.

Faber & Faber All Books Editorial Review
The Bloody White Baron is a fascinating exploration by James Palmer of one of the most evil individuals in human history, Baron Ungern-Sternberg, and the effects of the Chinese Revolution and the Russian Civil War on Mongolia. Palmer combines historical research with first-hand accounts from his travels to Mongolia to create a page-turning thriller-like read. While the lack of photographs is disappointing, the book offers valuable insight into how even the most peaceful doctrine, like Buddhism, can be turned towards violence and how a cunning leader can exploit ethnic divisions and superstitions. Overall, the book serves as a cautionary tale about the kind of monster that war and prejudice can create out of man.
