The story of American intervention in the Russian Civil War is well
known and has been told many times before. Journalist and author Barnes
Carr would have us believe, however, that there is much we still don’t
know about this history, which he purports to reveal in/The Lenin Plot:
The Untold Story of America’s Midnight War Against Russia/. The
administration of President Woodrow Wilson, he writes, launched a secret
operation together with Britain and France to topple the fledgling
Soviet state and then assassinate Lenin and other top officials. The
story Carr recounts is dramatic, but it’s not new. David S. Foglesong,
for example, covered the same ground with greater accuracy and insight
in his impressively researched/America’s Secret War Against Bolshevism:
U.S. Intervention in the Russian Civil War, 1917-1920/(1995).
