A fascinating story which illuminates a little-known part of history. The flight of the white russians and their settlements and harrassing in the far east.

Pretty good American history text. Doesn't lean too far in either direction as far as policital takes on events. I'm planning on taking the class that deals with the history from 1776-1887 so hopefully it will be just as interesting.
