About This Book

A detailed chronicle of American and Allied intervention in northern Russia after World War I, recounting the capture of Archangel and subsequent operations along the Murman and Vologda railways and river valleys. It combines tactical description of patrols, blockhouses, and clashes with Bolshevik forces with vivid accounts of extreme cold, supply shortages, disease, and soldiers' daily endurance. The narrative traces planning, objectives, advances, and retreats while reflecting on the expedition's ambiguous purposes, and it supplements unit-level observations with maps and illustrations to convey the logistical and human dimensions of the campaign.
