For Them the War Was Not Over: The Royal Navy in Russia 1918-1920

This title is written by the author of The Submariner's War: The Indian Ocean 1939-45. As the guns fell silent on the Western front on 11 November 1918, civil war still continued in Russia. The White Russian army, in support of the Tsar, was still fighting the Bolsheviks, especially in the north of Russia. The Royal Navy sent a squadron of ships in support of the White Russians and British troops fought against the Bolsheviks on land. Murmansk and Archangel became British enclaves as our soldiers and sailors fought a valiant but doomed war against the Bolsheviks. Michael Wilson tells the story of the Navy's part in this little known war.
