A Prisoner of the Reds: The Story of a British Officer Captured in Siberia

New York: E.P. Dutton and Company. Good with no dust jacket. 1922. First U.S. Edition. Hardcover. "I attempt in the following pages to give some account of my experiences among the Bolsheviks from January to April of the year 1920. My story is neither Propaganda for Bolshevism nor Propaganda against it. The result may possibly be that this book will displease not only the Bolsheviks, but also those equally fanatical anti-Bolsheviks who believe that Lenin and Trotsky lead lives of phenomenal debauchery and that cannibalism is common in Moscow." - Preface.
