		During the 1920 Polish-Soviet War, concealing his Jewish identity under a Russian pseudonym, Babel served as a war correspondent for the predominantly Cossack First Cavalry branch of the Red Army.
		Chief among these preoccupations are Babel’s anxieties over hiding his ethnic identity, his uncertainties regarding the future of the Bolshevik cause, and his compassion for the unfortunate people caught up in this violent transitional moment—not only Jewish villagers, victims of several atrocious pogroms, but also female nurses and Polish prisoners.
		This diary, which contains several of the germs for Babel’s celebrated Red Cavalry stories (1926), documents his experiences, observations, and reflections for about four months of that war.
