This third volume on Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War begins at the point when small-scale Allied intervention in Bolshevik-overrun Russia had failed, but had succeeded in covering the formation of some anti-Bolshevik White groups sympathetic to Allied aid. Written on a panoramic basis which includes documents from both sides, this book reveals what each side's leadership had to face as the Russian kaleidoscope constantly changed. The author argues that British intervention was doomed to failure and that the White Russians became expendable British pawns in a temporary forward holding position, designed to contain the Bolshevik inferno within Russia. The strategic and military miscalculations of British medium intervention thus prolonged the Russian Civil War, and caused a further 14 million Russian deaths. Using Churchill's previously unpublished, last papers and recently available French documents, Kettle provides an analysis of the Archangel Fiasco.
