1-214750 Bennett, Geoffrey FREEING THE BALTIC: 1918-1920 In 1919, the new governments of the besieged Baltic states appealed desperately to the Allies for assistance. A small British flotilla of light cruisers and destroyers were sent to help, under the command of Rear Admiral Sir Walter Cowan. They were given no clear instructions as to what their objective was to be and so Cowan decided that he had to make his own policy.

Despite facing a much greater force, Cowan improvised one of the most daring raids ever staged by the British Navy. He succeeded with devastating effect; outmaneuvering his enemies, sinking two Russian Battleships, and eventually freeing the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. 1 vol, 264 pgs 2017 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-219560 Dockterm D.B. TRIUMPH OF CHAOS: The Russian Civil War 1918-1921 - Volume 2 Deluxe Card Game Triumph of Chaos: The Russian Civil War 1918-1921 Volume 2 Deluxe is a two-player card driven strategic board game wherein the players assume the roles of the Red (Communist Forces) and the White (reactionary forces). This epic conflict resulted in the toppling of three centuries of Romanov rule and its replacement by a totalitarian communist regime. Belligerents included the various Russian republics, anarchist and independence movements, adherents of the old regime, foreign contingents of volunteers and the overt intervention of the Major Powers.

Originally published in 2005, Volume 2 enhanced the game to provide more Social Revolutionaries, eastern warlords, and a gaggle of obscure personalities and entities, a bigger map (enlarged 40% and including the Trans Siberian rail line all the way to Vladivostok), better play aids and redesigned cards (setting the stage for more player angst).

The basic structure of the original game is still there with three phases to a turn: Political (players compete to push or pull fractions to their side), Action (players alternate playing cards to move, fight, enact events and build up their armies) and Logistics (replacements and a variety of new intriguing game mechanics).

Contents: A beautiful 44x34-inch double map, 220 cards (action, leader, political decks), three sheets of counters (including approximately 400 military units, 40+ leaders and a bundle of other game tokens), rulebook and supplement, very helpful play aids, and few game bits (wood and dice). 1 vol, 1 pgs 2019 US, CLASH OF ARMS

1-230480 Dunn, Steve BATTLE IN THE BALTIC: The Royal Navy and the Fight to Save Estonia and Latvia, 1918-1920 After the WWI armistice but before the Versailles Treaty was ratified, Britain sent the Royal Navy to protect the fragile independence of the newly liberated states of Estonia and Latvia from Bolshevik Russian aggression. For two years, the Navy fought battles against the Red Navy and weather in the Baltic Sea, and against White Russian and German Freicorps troops -- each intent on a Baltic land grab. Hundreds of ships were successfully involved in aiding Estonian and Latvian forces. Patrolling, open sea battles, and 'PT-boat'-style raids populate the campaign that saw three VCs awarded and ships sunk in battle and by leftover WWI mines.

The Nomads No More game system includes two different games: Ungern-Sternberg's Mongolia and Enver Pasha's Bokhara. Both games use the same core rules but separate maps and pieces to cover concurrent conflicts that erupted on the eastern perimeter of Soviet Russia soon after the Russian Civil War - the early 1920's. Ungern-Sternberg's Mongolia simulates the invasion of Mongolia by fleeing Whites, their clash with the Chinese and subsequent pursuit by Reds. Enver Pasha's Bokhara covers the Basmachi Revolt against Soviet rule around Bokhara - present day Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

His mission took him and his men on a journey of 5,000 miles from Vladivostok to the battlegrounds not far from Moscow. As part of a White Russian Flotilla, they steamed down the huge Kama River and fought a series of successful battles against superior Bolshevik gunboats. Later, they were forced to retreat and had to fight their way back, the threat of execution looming over them if caught. Also explores the hazards in this cruel civil war including disease, which Jameson described as the biggest challenge of all. Contains 70 mono illustrations. 1 vol, 216 pgs 2024 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-225480 Harrison, Richard editor The Russian Civil War, 1918-1921 - An Operational-Strategic Sketch of the Red Army's Combat Operations The Russian Civil War was one of the most fateful of the 20th century's military conflicts, a bloody three-year struggle whose outcome saw the establishment of a totalitarian communist regime within the former Russian Empire. As such, it commands the attention of the military specialist and layman alike as we mark the one hundredth anniversary of the war's end. 48 maps

This work is the third volume of the three-volume Soviet official history of the Russian Civil War, which appeared during 1928-1930, just before the imposition of Stalinist orthodoxy. While the preceding volumes focused on the minutiae of the Red Army's organizational development and military art, this volume provides an in-depth description and analysis of the of the civil war's major operations along the numerous fronts, from the North Caucasus, the Don and Volga rivers, the White Sea area, the Baltic States and Ukraine, as well as Siberia and Poland. It also offers a well-argued case for the political reasons behind the Bolsheviks' military strategy and eventual success against their White opponents.

And while it is a certainly a partisan document with a definite political bias, it is at the same time a straight forward military history that manages to avoid many of the hoary myths that later came to dominate the subject. As such, it is easily the most objective account of the struggle to emerge from the Soviet Union before the collapse of the communist system in 1991.

1-213360 Shenk, Robert AMERICA'S BLACK SEA FLEET: The U.S. Navy Amidst War and Revolution 1919-1923 Offers a revealing portrait of America's small Black Sea fleet in the years following World War I. In a high-tempo series of operations throughout the Black and Aegean Seas and the eastern Mediterranean, this small force of destroyers and other naval vessels responded ably to several major international crises. Adm. Mark Bristol served as both head of US naval forces and America's chief diplomat in the region.

Home-ported in Constantinople, US Navy ships helped evacuate some 150,000 White Russians during the last days of the Russian Revolution; coordinated the visits of the Hoover grain ships to ports in southern Russia where millions were suffering a horrendous famine; reported on the terrible death marches endured by the Greeks of the Pontus region of Turkey; and conducted the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of Greek and Armenian refugees from burning Smyrna, the cataclysmic conclusion of the Turkish Nationalist Revolution. After Smyrna, the destroyers escorted Greek steamers in their rescue of ethnic Christian civilians being expelled from all the ports of Anatolian Turkey. 1 vol, 400 pgs 2015 US, US NAVAL INSTITUTE PRESS

1-214820 Wright, Damien CHURCHILL'S SECRET WAR WITH LENIN: British and Commonwealth Military Intervention in the Russian Civil War, 1918-20 This is the culmination of more than 15 years of painstaking and exhaustive research with access to many previously classified official documents, unpublished diaries, manuscripts, and personal accounts. Includes 203 black and white photos and 8 maps.

After three years of great loss and suffering on the Eastern Front, Imperial Russia was in crisis and on the verge of revolution. In November 1917, Lenin's Bolsheviks (later known as 'Soviets') seized power, signed a peace treaty with the Central Powers and brutally murdered Tsar Nicholas (British King George's first cousin) and his children so there could be no return to the old order.

As Russia fractured into loyalist 'White' and revolutionary 'Red' factions, the British government became increasingly drawn into the escalating Russian Civil War after hundreds of thousands of German troops transferred from the Eastern Front to France were used in the 1918 'Spring Offensive' which threatened Paris.

What began with the landing of a small number of Royal Marines at Murmansk in March 1918 to protect Allied-donated war stores quickly escalated with the British government actively pursuing an undeclared war against the Bolsheviks on a number of fronts in support of British trained and equipped 'White Russian' Allies. At the height of British military intervention in mid-1919, British troops were fighting the Soviets far into the Russian interior in the Baltic, North Russia, Siberia, Caspian, and Crimea.

The full range of weapons in the British arsenal were deployed, including aircraft, tanks, and even poison gas. British forces were also drawn into peripheral conflicts against 'White' Finnish troops in North Russia and the German 'Iron Division' in the Baltic. It remains a little known fact that the last British troops killed by the German Army in the First World War were killed in the Baltic in late 1919, and that the last Canadian and Australian soldiers to die in the First World War suffered their fate in North Russia in 1919 many months after the Armistice. Despite the award of five Victoria Crosses (including one posthumous) and the loss of hundreds of British and Commonwealth soldiers, sailors, and airmen, most of whom remain buried in Russia, the campaign remains virtually unknown in Britain today. 1 vol, 576 pgs 2017 UK, HELION AND COMPANY
