Written by three American doughboys who fought in Russia, this is a firsthand account of the only time in history that American troops directly fought Red Army troops. With 22 pages of photos.

[Joe Collins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitely a book to read. Besides covering the US Army's forces in Russia it also covers the roles of YMCA & YWCA, the Red Cross, the Russians (friend, foe, and civilian), and a bit on the other allied forces.
