Unterberger was particularly influenced at Radcliffe/Harvard by the diplomatic historian Thomas A. Bailey, a visiting scholar from [[Stanford University]]. It was from Bailey that she learned about [[American Expeditionary Force]] troops sent to [[Siberia]] after [[World War I]] during the [[Russian Civil War]] between the [[Bolshevik]]s and the [[Menshevik]]s. Her [[Ph.D.]] dissertation at [[Duke University]] in Durham, [[North Carolina]], became the basis for her first book on the subject, the award-winning ''America's Siberian Expedition, 1918-1920: A Study of National Policy.''<ref name=oah/>​
