"The History of the American Expedition Fighting the Bolsheviki" by Joel R. Moore et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This narrative documents the experiences and operations of American forces during their participation in the North Russian campaign against Bolshevik troops in the aftermath of World War I. Focused on the experiences of the 339th Infantry Regiment and their comrades, the book highlights the soldiers' struggles, battles, and the harsh conditions faced while stationed in North Russia. The opening of this account introduces readers to the American troops landing in Archangel on September 5, 1918, anticipating an arduous campaign against the Bolsheviks. It portrays the grim setting marked by the challenges of unfamiliar terrain, inclement weather, and the early outbreak of Spanish influenza aboard the troopships. The narrative emphasizes the soldiers’ sense of valor and commitment, detailing their rapid deployment into the conflict zones and their preparations to confront the Red Guards, underscoring the significance of their mission and the bonds formed amid adversity. As they began their offensive operations, the complexities of warfare, including coordination with allied forces and interactions with local populations, set the stage for the gripping narrative that follows.
