This book is a long awaited,definitive treatment of the AEF intervention in Siberia at the end of WWI. Well written and authoritative, the work is especially relevant to our times, given the state of Russian-American relations. Military readers will recognize in this tale an excellent early example of what has become an increasingly important role for our armed forces to day; strategic deployment of military force where US interests are at stake but no actual declaration of war exists. Between War and Peace is a "must read" for those with an interest in international diplomacy, war powers, the presidency, and military history. Highly recommended.
