A review by c_daddy_reads
Red Cavalry by Isaac Babel, Nathalie Babel
5.0
Cool as fuck historical document.
The author is a Soviet Jew in the Red Army fictionalized his experiences from the Polish-Soviet war.
The casual, matter-of-fact brutality of the revolutionary period is interspersed with vivid imagery of Poland and Ukraine to create compelling vignettes that hint towards the tumult of the war without really needing to explain it.
