Book Description
The issue of the forcible repatriations to the Soviet Union, especially of Cossacks and other anti-Communists, at the end of World War Two is one that still smolders, even as its victims have begun to die out. It remains an issue with important lessons even to the world of the 21st century. In Great Betrayal, which I have recently translated into English, Cossack White General Vyacheslav Naumenko created a valuable resource to those with an interest in this history. My translation of it made the original work available to a wide audience, especially that of the offspring of that generation whose betrayal and suffering is described in it in Russian . I have now also translated Volume 2 of Naumenko's work, making that, too, available to a wider reading public. It includes much material that Naumenko could not include in the first volume. There is more on the last days of the Cossachi Stan, the fate of the XV Cossack Cavalry Corps, forced repatriations from France, Italy, and England, the ultimate fate of Cossacks given over to the Soviets, and a number of official documents related to repatriations.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The fleet that sailed to Constantinople in 1203 was the largest ever assembled. It consisted of over 450 warships, merchant ships and transports. The backbone of the fleet was 50 galleys, while behind them came hundreds of transports and merchant ships. #2 The Fourth Crusade was a papal attempt to escape the lay motive, and attempt to establish the old direction of the crusade: Egypt. However, the Pope had never intended that the Crusade’s goal should be Egypt, since Egypt was now the center of Mahommedan power. #3 The Fourth Crusade was a French endeavor. It was led by Count Tibald of Champagne, but when he died in May 1201, Count Boniface of Montferrat was elected his successor. The Venetian Doge Enrico Dandolo controlled the fleet, and he intended to place a pretender on the throne of Byzantium. #4 The young Alexius had no legitimate claim to the throne of Byzantium, and the Doge knew this. His interest in Constantinople and its empire was realistic. The Star of Venice had been rising for centuries, while that of Byzantium was declining.

Book Description
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, often known as Madame Blavatsky, was a Russian author who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. She gained an international following as the leading theoretician of Theosophy. This book is by one of her pupils, Alice Leighton Cleather. Cleather who had moved to India, writes to protest the goings on at the Theosophical society, chief among them the appointment of C. W. Leadbeater as the organisation's supreme esoteric teacher. Her opposition to this appointment is based on Leadbeater's questionable past, as well as the movement's deviation from the teachings of Madame Blavatsky.
