This book recreates that unhappily memorable story--the arrival of British marines at Murmansk, the diplomatic maneuvering, the growing Russian hostility, the uprising of the Czechoslovak troops in central Siberia which threatened to overturn the Bolsheviks, the acquisitive ambitions of the Japanese in Manchuria, and finally the decision by President Wilson to intervene with American troops. \u003ci\u003eThe Decision to Intervene\u003c\/i\u003e is the second of three volumes in Mr. Kennan's distinguished chronicle of Soviet-American relations. Mr. Kennan's method is to view a small but crucial segment of history in all its developing intricacy and detail. With rare literary skill he shows distinct individuals acting in an unfolding drama which they understand only partially and on which their influence is limited. Only by such a method can one learn how events seemed to those who took part in them, and how such momentous decisions (as Wilson's decision to intervene in Russia surely was), are actually made. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOriginally published in 1958. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003cb\u003ePrinceton Legacy Library\u003c\/b\u003e uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
