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.
