Download or read book The United States, Revolutionary Russia, and the Rise of Czechoslovakia written by Betty Miller Unterberger and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First World War and the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia set the stage on which Woodrow Wilson had to direct U.S. policy toward Czechoslovakia as it sought liberation in the early twentieth century. Betty Unterberger's now classic study of the ferment of this period and the way President Wilson dealt with it gives insight into both Great Power relations and the next eighty years of developments in Central Europe. A decade after the original publication of The United States, Revolutionary Russia, and the Rise of Czechoslovakia, Unterberger has added an updated introduction that reconsiders the region in light of new knowledge gleaned from recently available Soviet, Czech, and French documents.
