After that, leaders in Washington, Paris, and London aimed to install their own Allied-friendly dictator in Moscow as a means to get Russia back into the war effort against Germany. The Lenin Plot had the entire approval of President Woodrow Wilson. As he ordered a military invasion of Russia, he gave the American ambassador, the U.S. Consul General in Moscow, and other State Department operatives a free hand to pursue their covert action against Lenin. The result was thousands of deaths, both military and civilian, on both sides. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the true beginning of the Cold War, The Lenin Plot tells the shocking story of this untold episode in American history in fascinating and striking detail. 600 10 $a Lenin, Vladimir Ilʹich, $d 1870-1924. 650 0 $a Espionage $z Soviet Union $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x Foreign relations $y 1917-1945. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 1913-1921. 941 $a 3 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20210904120521.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063611.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201205010107.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=869BD6C636C711EB84A2784E2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
