In 1918 the U.S. government decided to involve itself with the
Russian Revolution by sending troops to Siberia. This book
re-creates that unhappily memorable storythe arrival of British
marines at Murmansk, the diplomatic maneuvering, the growing
Russian hostility, the uprising of 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. Of
this period Kennan writes, "Never, surely, in the history of
American diplomacy, has so much been paid for so little."
