Jan 7, 2005A Good Novel About Wilson's Siberian Fiasco
I recently finished Ric Hardman, Fifteen Flags (New York: Little, Brown, 1968), a novel about the U.S. military intervention in Siberia during the Russian Revolution. Although not a great novel, it is a good one that chillingly captures the impossible situation into which President Woodrow Wilson thrust American troops from 1918 to 1920. Well worth a read.
