First published in 1921, Marooned in Moscow is a gripping account of Marguerite Harrison's experiences in war-torn Russia in early 1920. This new edition provides a fascinating insight into her entry into the country, her work as a journalist and spy, and her encounters with key figures in the Soviet leadership.

Harrison's remarkable story offers a unique perspective on life in Russia during this period, drawing on her own observations and experiences. With meticulous editing and supplementation by documents from KGB and U.S. intelligence archives, this edition has been enhanced with photographs of main actors and locales.

Edited by William Benton Whisenhunt, this new edition includes an introduction that provides context for Harrison's work. A valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Soviet Russia, Marooned in Moscow is a compelling read for those seeking to understand the complexities of this period.
