About This Novel
In 1920, as a war correspondent, Babel followed the First Cavalry Army of the Soviet Red Army commanded by Budyonny in its attack on Poland. The war lasted three months. Babel witnessed the last large-scale and unprecedentedly brutal cavalry battle in European history and in human history. From 1923 to 1924, he successively wrote more than 30 short and concise articles based on this campaign, including battlefield sketches and military stories. This is "Cavalry Army". This song was the swan song of the Soviet-Polish War that shocked the world and was a best-seller in Europe and the United States. It is not only a record of civilization and violence, conquest and resistance by a Jewish scholar with glasses, but also a biography of a domineering, heroic, and rugged Cossack cavalry soldier.
