Abstract

This review gives a high assessment of the book in the series “A Person in History”, devoted to the life and work of Count Dmitry Alekseyevich Milyutin (1816–1912), who served as a minister of war under Emperor Alexander II. This memorial book was published to mark his 200th birthday anniversary. Milyutin’s experience in implementing military reforms, which strengthened the Russian army, and his scholarly works are highly relevant to the theory and practice of military construction and education in today’s Russia. The professional work of the authors and editors along with the book’s excellent printing quality greatly contribute to the perpetuation of Milyutin’s memory.
