Books about American intervention in Russia
I would appreciate recommendations for good books which cover the American military intervention in the Russian Civil War. I am particularly curious about the forces sent to Siberia, as I have found less information on them than the troops sent to Arkhangelsk, but I am open to learning about both forces. In particular, something that gives a look at the service conditions of the men themselves would be good.

Among other things search Donovans history. Wild Bill Donovan who founded the OSS. He was involved in intelligence gathering connected to the Siberian expedition. Mostly for strategic/political decisions I'm guessing.
