"Baron Roman Fedorovich von Ungern-Sternberg (1885-1921) was a Baltic German aristocrat
and tsarist military officer who fought against the Bolsheviks in Eastern Siberia
during the Russian Civil War. From there he established himself as the de facto warlord
of Outer Mongolia, the base for a fantastical plan to restore the Russian and Chinese
empires, which then ended with his capture and execution by the Red Army as the war
drew to a close. In The Baron's Cloak, Willard Sunderland tells the epic story of
the Russian Empire's final decades through the arc of the Baron's life, which spanned
the vast reaches of Eurasia. Tracking Ungern's movements, he transits through the
Empire's multinational borderlands, where the country bumped up against three other
doomed empires, the Habsburg, Ottoman, and Qing, and where the violence unleashed
by war, revolution, and imperial collapse was particularly vicious ... Sunderland
recreates Ungern's far-flung life and uses it to tell a compelling and original tale
of imperial success and failure in a momentous time."--Jacket
