Description
Book Synopsis
An updated edition of the acclaimed history of Russia, this new volume includes a wealth of material on events of the last decade.
When first published, Charles Ziegler's The History of Russia was acclaimed as a source of information not easily found elsewhere, and as "clear, balanced, and insightful," by Rajan Menon of Lehigh University. Now Ziegler's remarkable volume returns, fully updated to be the work of choice for readers looking for an introduction to the history of the world's largest country. The History of Russia: Second Edition moves from the 10th-century founding of Kievan Rus to the czars to the Communist Era to the present, with particular emphasis on the fall of the Soviet Union and the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and Vladimir Putin. In addition to a new chapter on the tumultuous last decade, this edition features an updated introduction and an expanded chapter on the Yeltsin Era.Review Quotes
"Overall, this is a fascinating book that is well written and informative. The author succeeds in showing the full complexity of Russian history while keeping his narrative concise and crisp. . . . It is recommended as a textbook in Russian history courses or as a leisure reading for any nonspecialist interested in Russia." --ARBAonline
"This short history of Russia covers ancient times through the events of 1998. It discusses political, economic, social, and cultural aspects of each period through the Yeltsin era, and offers a timeline of events, B&W historical and contemporary photos, short biographical notes on key people, a glossary, and a bibliographic essay. This second edition pays special attention to the fall of the Soviet Union and the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and Vladimir Putin. There is a new chapter on the last ten years, plus an expanded chapter on the Yeltsin Era. The book is accessible to students and general readers." --Reference & Research Book NewsAbout the Author
