The Czech and Slovak Legion in Siberia, 1917-1922

Description:

"The Legion's detour through Siberia became the story of the war, chronicled weekly in the New York Times and New York Herald. For political purposes, tales of the Legion's odyssey have been buried or expunged. This revealing volume offers the first account of this hidden yet epic journey, shedding light on a forgotten facet of World War I"--Provided by publisher.
