Reseña del editor:

The story of Britain's invasion of Russia at the end of the First World War has remained largely untold. Although not its initial architect, its chief advocate, was the passionately anti-Bolshevik, Winston Churchill. "Churchill's Crusade" is the first complete account of a unique military operation - one which, if it had succeeded, would have changed the history of Russia, Europe and the World.
