Anton Kersnovsky – The Philosophy of War. The History of the Russian Army. A gift book in a leather binding.

The treatise “The Philosophy of War” offers the reader an original perspective on the phenomenon of armed conflicts through the lens of national psychology, religion, and morality. The author convincingly demonstrates that the fate of states on the battlefield depends primarily on the high morale of the troops, rather than on dry mathematical calculations. Kersnovsky passionately opposes the thoughtless imitation of Western military standards, calling for reliance on the unique national experience.

The monumental work “The History of the Russian Army” unfolds before the reader a grand panorama of victories, reforms, and tragedies from the time of Peter the Great to the eve of World War I. The historian meticulously examines the evolution of military regulations, tactics, and armaments, paying special attention to the genius of Suvorov, Kutuzov, and Skobelev. At the same time, the author is far from blind praise — he harshly and straightforwardly exposes the command mistakes that led to failures in the Crimean and Russo‑Japanese campaigns. Kersnovsky sees the army not merely as a state instrument, but as the highest manifestation of the people’s strength and spirit. Written in a lively, vivid, and incredibly emotional language, this book leaves a deep impression on the soul of everyone who cherishes Russia’s historical heritage.
