I had read something about the Allied effort to support the Mensheviks, (Whites), when I was about 12 or so, and knew the U.S. had sent troops. I now know something more. "Voices of a Never Ending Dawn" tells the true story of the 339th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army, which was sent to northern Russia in 1918 instead of France. These men were given Russian rifles, and put under British command. Their ordeal in the brutal northern winter, at the hands of a merciless foe, comes to light in their own words and through well-executed reenactments. Their struggle against the "Bolos", (Bolsheviks), an uncaring command, the elements, as well as their own fatigue, and the efforts of their families back home to get them out, are definitely worth your attention.
