Description
Three intertwining stories that were suppressed by U.S. and Soviet Governments and meant to remain hidden in the turbulent period of 1914n1920: how the first woman invited to serve with the Czar's Treasury hides the wealth of Russia from Lenin, how a language student from Stanford University leads a clandestine invasion of Siberia to thwart Bolshevism and how a graduate student from Charles University in Prague leads a regiment of elite athletes in mutiny against Germany to side with Russia. This factual story of love and escape is complex, and at times challenging to popular views, but every situation is accurately framed within well-researched historiography. The only fiction in this novel lies within the three main characters, who are composites. All others are presented accurately: Lenin, Kerensky, Churchill, President Wilson, Grand Duchess Marie, Czar Nicholas, Generals Gaida, Syrovy, Kechek, Graves, and Admiral Kolchak. The repercussions of their actions still resonate in the 21st century.
