The book delves into the Finnish Civil War of 1918, detailing firsthand experiences and memories from the author’s perspective during this tumultuous period in Finland’s history. It illustrates the rise of different factions and the societal upheaval that accompanied the struggle for freedom and independence.  The opening of the account sets a vivid scene in the summer of 1917, marking the beginnings of civil unrest as various groups vie for power and influence. Wilkuna describes a chaotic atmosphere marked by strikes, anarchy, and the emergence of paramilitary organizations, particularly the "suojeluskunnat" (guard companies). He narrates the attempts by the lawful citizens to establish order in the face of growing violence from opposing factions, illustrating the palpable tension as the nation teeters on the brink of open civil war. The chapter concludes with a sense of urgency, as he details the efforts to mobilize and organize the guard to protect the community from the impending conflict.
