Description
Sir Edmund Tiny Ironside's account of his mission to the snowy northern wastes of Russia provides a unique insight into the events surrounding the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. The Archangel expedition, led by General Ironside, was one of several military interventions aimed at preventing Russia from falling out of World War I. The book chronicles the general's co-operation with White Russian allies, his clashes with the Bolsheviks, and his eventual withdrawal. This first-hand account offers a detailed and personal perspective on the complex web of alliances and rivalries that characterized this pivotal period in history. Published in 2007, Archangel 1918-1919 is a valuable contribution to our understanding of World War I's final year.
