Bennett, Geoffrey FREEING THE BALTIC: 1918-1920
In 1919, the new governments of the besieged Baltic states appealed desperately to the Allies for assistance. A small British flotilla of light cruisers and destroyers were sent to help, under the command of Rear Admiral Sir Walter Cowan. They were given no clear instructions as to what their objective was to be and so Cowan decided that he had to make his own policy. |

Dunn, Steve BATTLE IN THE BALTIC: The Royal Navy and the Fight to Save Estonia and Latvia, 1918-1920
After the WWI armistice but before the Versailles Treaty was ratified, Britain sent the Royal Navy to protect the fragile independence of the newly liberated states of Estonia and Latvia from Bolshevik Russian aggression. For two years, the Navy fought battles against the Red Navy and weather in the Baltic Sea, and against White Russian and German Freicorps troops -- each intent on a Baltic land grab. Hundreds of ships were successfully involved in aiding Estonian and Latvian forces. Patrolling, open sea battles, and 'PT-boat'-style raids populate the campaign that saw three VCs awarded and ships sunk in battle and by leftover WWI mines. Well-written, too. 1 vol, 304 pgs

Gorkowski, John PAPER WARS: Issue 86 - Nomads No More: Central Asian Conflicts in the Wake of the Russian Civil War
Magazine and Game. The Nomads No More game system includes two different games: Ungern-Sternberg's Mongolia and Enver Pasha's Bokhara. Both games use the same core rules but separate maps and pieces to cover concurrent conflicts that erupted on the eastern perimeter of Soviet Russia soon after the Russian Civil War - the early 1920's. Ungern-Sternberg's Mongolia simulates the invasion of Mongolia by fleeing Whites, their clash with the Chinese and subsequent pursuit by Reds. Enver Pasha's Bokhara covers the Basmachi Revolt against Soviet rule around Bokhara - present day Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. |
