The Post-World War II History of the Eastern Volunteers

Hi Everyone -

Historians are beginning to devote some attention to the post-World War II history of the European volunteer movement. I am of course referring to those former volunteers who worked for the Western Allies against the Soviet Union in the post-1945 time period. Latvians will of course think of Alfreds Riekstins. This recently-published book examines the Russians:

This book covers all four waves of the post-1917 Russian emigration to the West, including those who served in Vlassov's ROA.

Are there any other articles or books regarding these men and their post-World War II years?

Best regards,

George
