Book Synopsis
Revolution and Civil War on the Murmansk Railway examines the Allied/anti-Bolshevik military andhome fronts from a previously uncharted perspective and shines a much-needed lighton the establishment and consolidation of Bolshevik power on the civil war periphery.Expanding our understanding of the Russian civil war, this book provides the first detailed, archival-based study in English to analyse the two neighbouring regions of Murmansk and Karelia.
