With The Die-Hards In Siberia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162717388)

With The Die-Hards In Siberia is a non-fiction book written by John Ward, which chronicles his experiences as a member of the British Expeditionary Force during the Russian Civil War. The book details his journey from England to Vladivostok, where he and his fellow soldiers were sent to support the anti-Bolshevik forces in the region. Ward provides a vivid account of the harsh conditions and brutal fighting that he and his comrades endured during their time in Siberia. He describes the bitter cold, the lack of supplies, and the constant threat of attack from both the Bolsheviks and the local population. Throughout the book, Ward also offers insights into the political and social complexities of the conflict, including the role of the Japanese army in the region and the tensions between the various anti-Bolshevik factions. With The Die-Hards In Siberia is a gripping and informative account of a little-known chapter in the history of the First World War, and provides a unique perspective on the tumultuous events of the early 20th century.It was reported to me that the reason the carriages could not be secured was that the railway officials of a certain Power had given instructions that no ""class"" carriages were to be provided for British officers, as it was necessary that the population along the route should understand that we were not considered representatives of a first-class Power. Englishmen who have not travelled much in the Far East will scarcely understand the working of the Oriental mind in these matters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
