Siberia, Japan & Wwi

Starting with the l3 period of Mongol domination, the story of Siberia continues through the period of Russian expansion, leading to relations with Japan that were only temporarily interrupted by the Russo Japanese War. This all changed with the Bolshevik Revolution, the Allied Intervention of 1918 and successive incidents, ending with the final withdrawal of Japanese troops in 1925.

This history is enlivened with the stories of individual men and women swept up in these events, much of them drawn from Japanese accounts not previously available in English.
