Book synopsis

This work focuses on the military and diplomatic §role played by Major General William S. Graves and §the United States Army expeditionary force sent to §Siberia as part of a joint American-Japanese §intervention following the Bolshevik Revolution. §The United States faced a very difficult mission due §to the motivations of the other occupying forces, §particularly the Japanese. §§As the United States sought to allow some form of §self-determination in Civil War Russia, the American §experience would reflect many of the same issues and §troubles that have beset more recent attempts at §nation-building. Japanese expansionism that would in §part lead to war in the Pacific in 1941 was on full §display in Siberia in 1918.§§General Graves was also in the now familiar position §of having to oversee competing national and §international interests in a war-torn country. §The story of the AEF Siberia and its commander has §great relevance in the 21st Century as it too §occurred in a time of political upheaval that seemed §to threaten the fabric of Western society.
