Fighting Without a War: An Account of Military Intervention in North Russia (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Fighting Without a War: An Account of Military Intervention in North Russia
This book does not assume to tell the whole story of that expedition. I did not see all of it. No man did. In addition to what I saw, how ever, I had the advantage of meeting constantly men who had seen and been in the various other fights and locations. Under the overstimulat ing circumstances of army life the very air seems full of wild rumors. This was particu larly true in the isolations of the Russian fight ing. I have felt the necessity therefore of exer cising great care not to accept as true uncor roborated army rumors. The matters of chief interest in this book, moreover, are matters of my own personal observation and knowledge.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. 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. Despite the hardships and frustrations, the American troops demonstrated unwavering commitment and valor throughout the campaign, earning the respect of the Russian people for their humanity and egalitarian treatment of the locals. Ultimately, the withdrawal of American troops left a sense of betrayal among the Russians and confusion over the true intentions of the West.
