On 10 November 1918, the night before the Armistice was signed, Winston Churchill said during a British Cabinet meeting: 'We should not attempt to destroy the only police force for maintaining order in Germany. We might have to build up the German army .. fear of the spread of Bolshevism." There, as seen Churchill and all his colleagues at that meeting, including Lloyd George;. and by Western leaders generally-was the victors' dilemma. Just a year before, a hitherto unknown group of professional revolutionaries calling themselves Bolsheviks had seized power in Russia. Besides taking the country out of the war in what seemed to the Allies an act of sheer treachery, they had declared their hostility to everything the Western democracies stood for. Now defeated Germany and, indeed, all Central Europe, seemed to be going Bolshevik too. Civil war was raging in Russia, with the Allies deeply involved, however vicariously and reluctantly, in support of the several White Russian armies and factions. The intervention, its origins and the course it ran before it petered out make up one of the most confused yet fascinating episodes in the history of this century. ., Barrie & Jenkins, 1970<

Just a year before, a hitherto unknown group of professional revolutionaries calling themselves Bolsheviks had seized power in Russia. Besides taking the country out of World War I, in what seemed to the Allies an act of sheer treachery, they declared their hostility to everything the Western democracies stood for. Civil war was raging in Russia, with the Allies deeply involved, however vicariously and reluctantly, in support of the several White Russian armies and factions. The intervention of the Western democracies, its origins and the course it ran before it petered out, make up one of the most confused yet fascinating episodes in the history of the 20th century. This book presents that story. Allied and Bolshevik, taking part: the politicians who made the decisions, the generals who directed the campaigns, and the ordinary men, women and children who endured the results of those political decisions and military operations.<
