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.
