This book is a rip roaring tale of adventure on Russia's far eastern frontier one hundred years ago. I enjoyed the archaic language, and the detailed descriptions of the people, animals along the journey, and aspects of the then prevailing religions. Some of the authors adventures seem too wild to be true.It is a useful companion to "The Bloody White Baron" by James Palmer, a book about Baron Ungern Sternberg, written in more recent times, and presenting quite a different perspective on events in the Trans-Baikal and Mongolia at that time.
I thoroughly recommend both books.

Beasts Men And Gods Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski 9781273723094 Books Reviews
This is an edge-or-your-seat Indiana Jones type of adventure. It also, if true, gives us an inside look at the thuggery of the early Soviet Communists.
As a young man I read a lot of adventure books. This one beats them all!
It is a personal story of travel and adventure of the author (who also wrote
"Lenin, god to the godless") in the far East (Siberia, Mongolia,...) trying
to escape the bolsheviks. Great descriptions of the lands and nature. Very
exiting mix of adventure and local politics during those revolutionary years.
This book was not what I expected but thoroughly enjoyable & based on historical happenings during the Russian Bolshevik war. A very good accounting of a man caught behind enemy lines & having to fend for himself living off the land, etc.
Fascinating read.A true survivor story.
Although Ossendowski surely stretches the truth at times in his tale, this is a good book to read. A great compliment to any work about Baron Ungern-Sternberg.
Good book by a Polish writer.
This is the tale told by a Polish Colonel in the Russian Army (Tsarist White Army) who is escaping from Vladivostok and making his way through Siberia and into Mongolia. It is a monumental journey both in the amount of time he will have to spend, and avoiding the Bolshevik forces along the way. Anyone who thinks that the Bolsheviks had the support of all the Russians should read this. It dispels any notions about bloodshed and slaughter among their armies. Ossendowski recounts that each day, you awoke with the understanding that you never knew how many hours you had left to live. The characters he encounters, how his knowledge of military strategy, his background in diplomacy and languages and the luck of being at the right places at the right time allow him to make it to Urga (now Ulan Bator) where he meets up with Baron von Untgen. The bloodiness of the White Russian generals, the Chinese Nationalist army, the Mongolian forces led by their cavalry and lamas and the Bolsheviks makes this a fascinating journal. Many parts were taken from actual facts and turned into a fictional tale, but it is based on actual events.
I know that after he makes his way out of Asia, he traveled from the Philippine Islands to Vancouver, BC and then to Seattle. He went from there to New York where he met with men who would publish this book and then left for Poland. He was still a wanted man by the Red Army's NKVD (secret police) when they captured Warsaw, he had just died weeks before and they had his body exhumed for identification so they could inform Stalin that he was dead.
