“Now that it’s over, America’s war against that thing called Bolshevism is ripe for examination from interesting new perspectives. Woodrow Wilson started it all off, and his ambivalence in the conflict that matured into Cold War is full of surprises. Highly readable, Foglesong’s cautious and meticulous research brings to light long ignored exploits of American covert action.” — Peter Grose, author of Gentleman Spy: The Life of Allen Dulles
