Sommario/riassunto: | "This highly readable and provocative book brings to life a forgotten chapter in the history of Canada and Russia-the journey of 4,200 Canadian soldiers from Victoria to Vladivostok in 1918 to help defeat Bolshevism. It illuminates how the Siberian Expedition exacerbated tensions within Canadian society at a time when a radicalized working class, many French-Canadians, and even the soldiers themselves objected to a military adventure designed to counter the Russian Revolution."--Jacket. |
