A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

On November 11 1918, World War I officially ended. But for the men of the ill-starred American Expenditionary Force to North Russia, the fighting had only begun. Plagued by meager supplies, poor leadership, and the lack of a clear-cut objective, this small but valiant American contingent fought impossible odds, scoring several stunning victories against the Bosheviks before superior numbers and the bone-breaking arctic winter that had defeated Napoleon forced them to withdraw. Now, in this clear, forthright account, E.M Halliday re-creates one of the most obscure but important of America's foreign interventions: an epic of confusion, endurance, failure - and gallantry - that history almost forgot and the Russians never forgave. Only today, more than seventy years after the Allied occupation of Archangel, have Amerian-Soviet relations begun to thaw.
