Alexei Maksimovich Kaledin was a brilliant military leader and a tragic symbol of the decline of imperial Russia. A cavalry general and talented commander, he was a Don Cossack by birth, representing the ideal of an officer of the old school. Courageous and restrained to the point of severity, A.M. Kaledin dedicated his entire life to fulfilling his military duty to his homeland.

His letters from the front lines of World War I to his wife are a unique document of the era and a subtle psychological chronicle. They are free of Cossack themes and politics. Instead, they contain detailed reports of combat operations, precise sketches of army life, and a sober analysis of the morale of the troops. These lines reveal the image of a profoundly Russian man and patriot who, with growing alarm, realizes the inevitable collapse of everything that gave meaning to his life. A.M. Kaledin proved alien to the new political reality and remained faithful to his oath to the end.
