Interesting narrative by a captain and two lieutenants who were there. Gives insight to a murky and little known campaign. And there are pictures.

Yeah, the Allied Intervention in Russia is one of the great “might-have-beens” of the post-World War I period. The White Movement under Kolchak had a very good chance of defeating the Bolsheviks. But the French, British, and Americans pulled the rug out from under the Whites in 1919 and left them to their fate, with a complete Bolshevik victory.

Years ago I met a guy who had been an enlisted man in that expedition. He had some interesting tales to tell. I'm looking forward to reading the book.

Thanks. Much of that reads much like the book. Not a surprise as Lieutenant Mead is a source for both.

Thanks decimon, and welcome back! :')

It seems as though the Bolshis had some issues.
