ROYAL MARINES IN RUSSIA, 1919: Battling the Bolsheviks During the Intervention
by Grant, Alastair
1-243710
Explores the story of a 23-year-old Royal Marines officer, Thomas Henry Jameson, who was deployed by the British during the Russian Civil War to assist the White Russians. 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.
