This book recounts the experiences of American soldiers who went to Russia as part of the North Russian Expeditionary Force during the final months of World War I. The author, who served in North Russia as a secretary assigned to work with the army, provides unique eyewitness accounts of the expedition, which aimed to protect military stores from falling into German hands. The author faced the daily challenges of an ill-defined war against Bolshevik forces, leading to widespread disillusion among American troops, who felt neglected by their government and disillusioned by the lack of clarity on their mission.
