This is an automatically translated description

Marshal Karl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (1867-1951) successfully led the armed forces and the country during independence, the formation of the state and during the years of global military and political conflicts that threatened the very foundations of Finland's existence. He is the man who has made the most significant contribution to the country's sovereignty.

The first volume of his memoirs tells about the beginning of Baron Mannerheim's career, his participation in the Russo-Japanese and First World Wars, his reconnaissance trip to Asia, the Russian Revolution and the Finnish War of Independence, the author's participation in shaping the domestic and foreign policy of independent Finland, and his hunting trips.
