This work focuses on the military and diplomatic
role played by Major General William S. Graves and
the United States Army expeditionary force sent to
Siberia as part of a joint American-Japanese
intervention following the Bolshevik Revolution.
The United States faced a very difficult mission due
to the motivations of the other occupying forces,
particularly the Japanese.
As the United States sought to allow some form of
self-determination in Civil War Russia, the American
experience would reflect many of the same issues and
troubles that have beset more recent attempts at
nation-building. Japanese expansionism that would in
part lead to war in the Pacific in 1941 was on full
display in Siberia in 1918.
General Graves was also in the now familiar position
of having to oversee competing national and
international interests in a war-torn country.
The story of the AEF Siberia and its commander has
great relevance in the 21st Century as it too
occurred in a time of political upheaval that seemed
to threaten the fabric of Western society.
