Finalist for the Lionel Gelber Prize An Amazon Best Book of the
Month (History) One of the world's leading scholars offers a fresh
interpretation of the linked origins of World War I and the Russian
Revolution "Lieven has a double gift: first, for harvesting details
to convey the essence of an era and, second, for finding new,
startling, and clarifying elements in familiar stories. This is
history with a heartbeat, and it could not be more
engrossing."-Foreign Affairs 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 for
the first time the two events, providing both a history of the
First World War's origins from a Russian perspective and an
international history of why the revolution happened. Based on
exhaustive work 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 hot issues such as the struggle for
Ukraine were already crucial elements in the run-up to 1914. By
incorporating into his book new approaches and comparisons, Lieven
tells the story of war and revolution in a way that is truly
original and thought-provoking.
