"The Russian Campaign, April to August, 1915" by Stanley Washburn is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book serves as the second volume of "Field Notes from the Russian Front," offering a firsthand perspective on the Russian military's experiences during the First World War. Washburn, acting as a special correspondent for “The Times,” provides insights into the conditions faced by the Russian soldiers and the unfolding events on the front lines. The opening of the work introduces readers to the significant military event of the fall of Przemysl in Galicia, detailing the reactions in Petrograd as news of the fortress's capture spreads through the city. Celebratory crowds gather despite inclement weather, showcasing the sentiments of hope and patriotism among ordinary Russians who rally behind their army. Washburn describes the mixed conditions of war, highlighting both the difficulties faced by the soldiers and their indomitable spirit as they persevere against the challenges of modern warfare. The narrative focuses on the impact of this key event on morale and strategy, setting the tone for deeper explorations of the military campaigns that follow in the subsequent chapters.
