The very first words caught my attention: โAs much as anything, WW1 turned on the fate of Ukraineโ โฆ author, 2013, before the current crisis. The author has researched extensively the topic of Russia and the role it played in WWI, and to a large extent is still playing today.
This isn’t a casual week end read. But a well researched and thought out of the Russians and all of their manipulations in the area and how they still are pertinent today.ย There is no better time than now to read this book. I was intrigued at the Library by the title and after reading the first paragraph, I was hooked. Ukraine? Why is everything still hinging on Ukraine.
Than you to author Dominic Lieven for such a well researched and written work of art.
