Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences of General Skobeleff
Skobelefi was one of the most remarkable per sonages of his time. In a country where favour and patronage are the surest roads to promotion, and where official society is permeated with corruption, the General stood alone. He had risen entirely by his own merits, in Spite of his relations, his friends, and his numerous enemies, and the petty jealousies that surrounded him. Yet he had won his general's epaulettes at thirty, and held a higher rank in the army than his father whilst that father still lived.
