Mad Cossack: Gen. John B. Turchin His Life, His Wife, and the Sacking of Athens (Alabama, That Is.) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Russian-born, Union General, Ivan Vasilyevich Turchaninov, aka John B. Turchin became one of the Civil War’s most infamous—and misunderstood—figures. Branded the “Mad Cossack” by critics, Turchin built a reputation in the Western Theater for aggressive campaigning, contempt for Confederate sabotage, and a hard-war approach that made him a hero to some Unionists and a villain across the South. This episode follows Turchin and his wife, Nadezhda (Nadine) Turchin, from imperial Russia to the Union
