About This Item
Vancouver: UBC Press, 2011. Book. Very Good. Paperbound. 8 vo,. pict. paper covers, xiii, 299 pages : maps, a very good copy. CONTENTS; Why Siberia? -- Canada's road to Siberia. 1917 : a breach in the Allied front ; Vladivostok : 1917 ; The road to intervention ; Mobilization ; Departure day -- Vladivostok and back. Vladivostok : 1919 ; "Up country" and evacuation ; Afterword. ""From Victoria to Vladivostok sheds new light on a part of Canadian history that previous scholars have written off as a mere sideshow, a rather embarrassing episode that had no impact on the First World War. In contrast, Isitt sees the problems that befell the Expedition as being rooted in conflicting views of Bolshevism in Canada, and defferent perceptions of the logic behind an intervention in Russia. In this, his contribution is both significant and original."--Jonathan Vance, author of Unlikely Soldiers.
