Synopsis:

Blood and Fire, Tsar and Commissar examines the Salvation Army's first attempt to establish itself in Russia during the early decades of the twentieth century. It is a stirring story of faith, determination and endurance of a would-be-law-abiding organization struggling (despite police raids, death by epidemic and other catastrophes) to work in a place where, prior to the revolutions of 1917, it did not officially exist.

About the Author: Tom Aitken is a freelance writer and lecturer on history, film, music, and literature, currently writing for The Times Literary Supplement and The Church Times, and lectures at St. Deiniol#39;s Library and the Graham Greene Festival.
