Paris, France: George V. Gordev, 1980. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. Format is approximately 5.25 inches by 8.25 inches. 218, [6] pages. Frontis illustration. Illustrations. Cover has some wear and soiling. This is the story of the extraordinary fate of a class of midshipmen of the Russian Naval Academy in St. Petersburg. In 1917, at the beginning of the Russian Revolution, a class of midshipmen was sent to the Far East on a routine eight months training mission. This is the story of the next four years, as they supported themselves in commercial shipping and aided refugees. The book covers events that occurred between 1917-1921, and describes the war of life and attitudes in Indochina, Hong Kong, and elsewhere. Deprived of funds to carry out the training as planned, the cadets and their officers managed to provide the necessary means by engaging in coastal trade, carrying various cargos in the holds of their ship.

Major General William Sidney Graves (27 March 1865 – 27 February 1940), United States Army, commanded American forces in Siberia during the Siberian Expedition, part of the Allied Intervention in Russia. Graves attended the United States Military Academy at West Point and graduated on 12 June 1889. He served in the Spanish–American War in the Philippines until 1902. In 1918, he was given command of the 8th Infantry Division and sent to Siberia under direct orders from President Wilson. His orders were to remain strictly apolitical amidst a politically turbulent situation. Given some 7,000 soldiers in what was called the American Expeditionary Force in Siberia, he settled on the idea of making sure the Trans-Siberian railroad stayed operational and brought in a number of railroad experts to run the railway. His troops did not intervene in the Russian Civil War. U.S. forces operated the Trans-Siberian railroad for almost two years. The U.S. military did accomplish its main objective and the entire Czech Legion was evacuated out of Russia via Vladivostok. The last U.S. soldiers left Siberia April 1, 1920. Historian Benson Bobrick wrote of Graves: "In the whole sad debacle, he may have been the only honorable man." General Graves was promoted to the rank of major general on 11 July 1925, and retired from the army in 1928. He then wrote a book about his time in Siberia, entitled America's Siberian Adventure 1918-20. More
