This volume examines how Imperial Russia's armed forces sought to
adapt to the challenges of modern warfare. Russian rulers always
understood the need to maintain an army and navy capable of
preserving the empire's great power status. Yet they inevitably
faced the dilemma of importing European military and technological
innovations while keeping out political ideas that could challenge
the autocracy's monopoly on power. Reforming the Tsar's Army
touches on many broader issues in politics, international
relations, economy and society, and combines the efforts of leading
specialists of Russian military history from North America, Europe
and Russia to consider many aspects of this dilemma. Grouped around
broad themes of resources, intelligence, personality, and responses
to specific wars, these essays benefit from the new archival
openness to yield some surprising insights into the empire's
willingness and ability to adapt to change.
