He writes in Russian. A number of his books have been translated into English, including his semi-autobiographical The Liberators (1981).

San Francisco, CA: The Hicks-Judd Company, 1917. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Stiff wraps. 98, [2] pages. Illustrations. Ex-library with usual library markings. This was formerly at the Camp Upton Library. Cover has wear and soiling. Erasure residue on fep. The author’s premise is that every officer can learn to sketch and to read sketches. A few of the topic headings are: object of sketching, sketching tools, contours, and reconnaissance sketches. The goal was to simplify instruction and to clear away the mathematics. It is thought that a presentation of the methods developed by expert sketchers will be of great assistance to students and instructors. The writer believes that there is a necessity for teaching the use of the clinometer and scale of slopes in order to teach how to contour. He has tested this belief and proved its soundness. More

Fort Leavenworth, KS: US Army Command and General Staff College, 1986. Reprint. Wraps. 72 pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Maps. Short history and glossary of the Boer War. Major-General Sir Ernest Dunlop Swinton, KBE, CB, DSO (21 October 1868 – 15 January 1951) was a British Army officer who played a part in the development and adoption of the tank during the First World War. He was also a war correspondent and author of several allegorical works of fiction on military themes, including a lastingly influential book on tactics and good practice. He is credited, along with fellow officer Lieutenant-Colonel Walter Dally Jones, with having initiated the use of the word "tank" as a code-name for the first tracked, armored fighting vehicles. This imaginative classic on small unit tactics, set at the time of the Boer War, challenges the reader to walk in the boots of a British lieutenant who must decide how to defend a shallow river crossing with a fifty-man platoon. This new edition retains the original text, but adds maps and illustrations that highlight the action. More
