Ebook: White Siberia: The Politics of Civil War

In the first full-length account of the Siberian theatre during the Russian Revolution and Civil War, N.G.O. Pereira documents the nature, causes, and consequences of the failure of the anti-Bolshevik White movement. The term "White," used in a broad political sense to contrast with the "Red" Bolsheviks, refers to all the factions in Russian society who took up arms against the Soviet government after V.I. Lenin's coup d'état in 1917. White Siberia provides a detailed history of internal politics in Siberia from 1917 to 1922 and the role of the Siberian conflict in the Revolution and Civil War.
