Content:
World war I and the Russian Revolution together shaped the twentieth century in profound ways. In The end of tsarist Russia, acclaimed scholar Dominic Lieven connects the two events, providing both a history of the war's origins from a Russian perspective and an international history of why the revolution happened. Based on exhaustive research in seven Russian archives as well as many non-Russian sources, Dominic Lieven's work is about far more than just Russia. By placing the crisis of empire at its core, Lieven links World war I to the sweep of twentieth-century global history. He shows how contemporary crises such as the struggle for Ukraine were already crucial factors in the run-up to 1914. Epic in detail and scope, and unique in its perspective, The end of tsarist Russia is a gripping study of war and revolution - and their fateful consequences for both Russia and the world. -- Klappentext
