'The strength of Connaughton's book lies in its study of the foreign powers and personalities who became involved in the Kolchakovshchina: The American and Major-General Graves; the British and Major-General \knox; the Czechs and General Gajda.' Association for Language Learning 'A very readable and well researched account...' British Army Review 'Richard Connaughton has an engaging narrative style and he captures the individuals who took decisions and the atmosphere in which they are taken, vividly. In his enjoyable book the often enigmatic factors that provoke interventions by foreign powers are unravelled skilfully.' Brian Holden Reid
