The Urals are best known as the boundary between Europe and Asia. "A History of the Urals" demonstrates the region's importance in its own right, as a crucible of Russia's defence industry in particular. In the first English-language book to explore the subject fully, Paul Dukes examines the region's contribution to the power of the state in tsarist, Soviet and post-Soviet times, offering a refreshing antidote to Moscow-centric interpretations of Russian history. The book contextualises more recent periods with chapters on the earlier years of the Urals and covers the key environmental as well as economic, political and cultural themes.The book contains illustrations and maps, plus lists of books and websites, as aids to further research and understanding of the subject. "A History of the Urals" is an important book that provides new and valuable insights for all students of Russian history.
