About This Item
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. "The memoirs of a British Intelligence Officer captured at Krasnoiarsk in January 1920. Of interest for its account of conditions of life in Siberia and Moscow in early 1920." - Jonathan D. Smele on page 493 of The Russian Revolution and Civil War: 1917-1921. "Francis McCullagh (1874-1956) was an Irish journalist, war correspondent, and author." - Wikipedia.
