by Ferdinand Ossendowski (Author)
Beasts, Men and Gods is a first person account of the events of the Russian Revolution during the 1920s by Ferdinand Ossendowski. Dr. Ossendowski is a man of long and diverse experience as a scientist and writer with a training for careful observation which should put the stamp of accuracy and reliability on his chronicle. Only the extraordinary events of these extraordinary times could have thrown one with so many talents back into the surroundings of the "Cave Man" and thus given to us this unusual account of personal adventure, of great human mysteries and of the political and religious motives which are energizing the "Heart of Asia."
