-Timely subject matter: Given the once again mounting tensions between Russia and the US, this window into a past conflict between these two countries will be of special interest to politically and historically minded reader.

Modern female readers will love Clara-a strong, independent, progressively minded American woman who dedicated her life to service for others, and who went on to pursue a master’s degree in economics (in 1920 this was a highly remarkable feat for a woman) and then spend the rest of her working life as a financial advisor to women.

Few primary source documents about the US involvement in North Russia from 1918-1919 are in print, and this book adds an important eye-witness account to the record.
