With The Die-Hards In Siberia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419194467)

With The Die-Hards In Siberia is a book written by John Ward that describes his experiences during the Allied intervention in Siberia in 1918. Ward was a British soldier who was sent to Siberia along with other Allied forces to support the anti-Bolshevik forces during the Russian Civil War. The book provides a first-hand account of the harsh conditions and the challenges faced by the soldiers in Siberia. It also depicts the political and social situation in Russia during that time. Ward's narrative is filled with descriptions of battles, skirmishes, and encounters with the local population. The book is a valuable historical document that provides insight into a lesser-known aspect of World War I and the aftermath of the Russian Revolution.It was reported to me that the reason the carriages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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
