This book is intriguing for anyone with some background knowledge of the Eastern Front during WWII or who is interested in the fate of White Russians following the Russian Revolution. Following WWII, the nations of the world were desperate to find order again, and in their speedy haste towards peace, the innocent sometimes got swept away. This book details the repatriation of White Russians back to the the land they fled and to certain death, all as part of the policy of returning people to their respective countries. I would not recommend this book to anyone without some background knowledge, but interested parties will be fascinated by the events as they sadly unfold, even on American soil. I highly recommend this to historians and show more students for the rare perspective on this overlooked subject. show less
