In 1918 the United States Government decided to involve itself in
the Russian Revolution by sending troops to Siberia. This book
recreates that unhappily memorable story--the arrival of British
marines at Murmansk, the diplomatic maneuvering, the growing
Russian hostility, the uprising of the Czechoslovak troops in
central Siberia which threatened to overturn the Bolsheviks, the
acquisitive ambitions of the Japanese in Manchuria, and finally the
decision by President Wilson to intervene with American troops. The
Decision to Intervene is the second of three volumes in Mr.
Kennan's distinguished chronicle of Soviet-American relations. Mr.
Kennan's method is to view a small but crucial segment of history
in all its developing intricacy and detail. With rare literary
skill he shows distinct individuals acting in an unfolding drama
which they understand only partially and on which their influence
is limited. Only by such a method can one learn how events seemed
to those who took part in them, and how such momentous decisions
(as Wilson's decision to intervene in Russia surely was), are
actually made. Originally published in 1958. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
