HISTORY BUFFS: Real Clear History column in Real Clear Politics today, notes that the U.S. , along with other nations, sent troops to Russia after WWI, the Bolshevik seizure of power, and the Russian Civil War. “These efforts are not mentioned in most history survey courses, and few texts even mention that U.S. troops, or those of any other nation fought against the Bolsheviks during this period,” noted the column.

My historical novel, "Klara’s Journey," (Marion Street Press), a “gripping account of the Russian Civil War (1918-22) and its consequences” as well as a story of “betrayal, drama and love,” takes up the American role in Russia after the fall of the Czar.
