This is the amazing, true-life story of an American trapped behind enemy lines during the Russian Revolution. Even more amazing is the story of how this diary found its way to print.
Filament Bookclub member Ken Hitzeman from South Dakota found a leather diary in a box of various items from a garage sale. Intrigued, he began reading ... and this is the story that unfolded from the neatly typed pages.
L. R. Hiatt, attached to the YMCA, documents the closing days of the Russian Czars and the Red Army's push through the surprisingly vibrant Siberian countryside. There are wonderful candid shots throughout the diary that are reproduced here.
Do yourself a favor and step back in time ... and read along as Hiatt stays one step ahead of one adventure after another.
