In the Wake of Empire

From 1917 to 1920, as the Bolsheviks consolidated power and nursed global ambitions, anti-Bolshevik "Whites" struggled to achieve a different vision for the future of Russia. This book illuminates the White campaign with fresh purpose and information from the Hoover Institution Archives, exploring how diverse White factions overcame internal tensions to lobby for recognition on the world stage, only to fail—in part because of the West's desire to leave "the Russian question" to Russians alone.
