The Day We Almost Bombed Moscow: The Allied War In Russia, 1918 1920
Christopher Dobson, John Miller
An undercover RAF
squadron prepares to bomb Moscow from a makeshift landing ground in the
Steppes two hundred miles from the Russian capital ...Two British
regiments land at Vladivostok ... The Japanese invade Siberia with
70,000 troops ... American infantrymen fight the Bolsheviks in a bitter
winter war south of Archangel ... British spies in Moscow plot the
overthrow of the Russian government ... Thriller fiction? No. These
events actually happened in a little known and much misunderstood war
conducted at the beginning of the 20th century. The Allied intervention
began in 1918 as a desperate attempt to maintain the Eastern Front
against the Germans after Russia's decision to withdraw from the Great
War. But by 1920 it had developed into a haphazard and often chaotic
offensive against Bolshevism itself and set the pattern for East-West
relations which persists with all its dangers today - long after British
troops landed at Murmansk to protect the Soviet government of the town
from the Germans and invading White Finns.
