"In War and Revolution, Norman Saul offers a fresh analysis of this troubled era in Russia and of the American reaction to it. Tracing the events surrounding America's entry into the European conflict and its encouragement of continued Russian participation even in the face of domestic unrest, he shows how those circumstances adversely affected relations between the two nations and shaped their futures in the century ahead." "Drawing on rarely accessed military and diplomatic archives in both countries, Saul surveys the vast panorama of events while providing not only detailed accounts of the activities of consular, diplomatic, and military staffs but also colorful vignettes of ordinary Americans in Russia involved in humanitarian relief and other activities. Businessmen and artists, Red Cross volunteers and journalists - all were caught up in the immediacy of war and revolution, and all contributed to the shifting sentiments of two nations."--BOOK JACKET.
