Churchill's Crusade

The British Invasion of Russia, 1918-1920

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In 1918, British force landed at Archangel and Murmansk, under the auspices of Winston Churchill, to influence the military and political outcome of the Russian revolution. Churchill was, of course, implacably opposed to Bolshevism, and his war machine was up against the Reds, commanded by Leon Trotsky. This book presents the story of this war.

The story of Britain's invasion of Russia at the end of the First World War has remained largely untold. Although not its initial architect, its chief advocate, was the passionately anti-Bolshevik, Winston Churchill.   Churchill's Crusade  is the first complete account of a unique military operation - one which, if it had succeeded, would have changed the history of Russia, Europe and the World.
