Looks at the Royal Navy’s involvement in the Baltic after the Russian
Revolution, where it played a significant role in securing the
independence of Estonia and Latvia, against threats from the Bolsheviks,
expansionist Germans, White Russians who wanted to restore the entire
Tsarist Empire, all the time working without any significant political
support at home, or any clear idea what the British government policy
actually was. Despite the limited resources available the Navy still
managed to carry out a motor boat attack on the main Soviet fleet, as
well as providing invaluable support for the fighting on land, despite
poor conditions that even triggered some minor mutinies.
