About this title

Synopsis

War In Siberia is a work of fiction based on fact. Time will tell of the outcome of the inevitable confrontation.

China becomes seriously concerned about the poor military capability displayed in Ukraine by Russia, previously regarded as the protector of its far western border.

Within China, nationalists liken Russia's attempt at annexation of Ukraine to the former's actual annexation of over a million square kilometres of Chinese North Eastern Siberia, confirmed in the 'Unfair' Treaties of Aigun and Peking in 1858/60.

In order to protect its Western border and recover its lost lands, China invades Siberia. The outcomes of its action include the demise of Russia's Imperial ambitions, the creation of a new Republic - SIBIR - in Central Siberia, the cessation of North East Siberia to the USA and the recovery of its lost land.

About the Author

David W Williams was born in 1935 - old enough in February 1941 to watch the Luftwaffe engage with the RAF in dog fights over his home town: Swansea. He has memories of walking over firehose pipes playing on burning buildings in the devastated city centre. He went on to attend Gowerton Grammar School from where, to the surprise of his peers and headmaster, he was accepted into The Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst as an officer cadet. He was commissioned as a subaltern into the Royal Engineers on 4th February 1955.In his early commissioned years he commanded units which built roads and bridges in Malaysia, a Wilderness park in Canada and a Sports Stadium in Gibraltar. He also served tours in the 12 Infantry Brigade as part of the British Army of the Rhine confronting the Warsaw Pact armies headed by the Soviet Union.As a Major, he attended Technical and General Staff Colleges and was also nominated to attend the National Defence College. This process was interrupted by the advent of miliary tuberculosis and leukemia, leading to a break of two years from active service.As a Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel he lectured on the strategy and tactics of nuclear warfare and served in General Staff appointments concerned with a weapon design and procurement. Ill health returned in the form of pneumonia and meningitis and he was discharged prematurely from service in 1988.For the next 25 years he started and ran a furniture manufacturing Company from which he retired in 2015. Along the way he suffered colon cancer and a stroke. He is now a partner in a family-owned vineyard. His wife died of very late diagnosed cancer in 2021.
