Crimea: A History

byNeil Kent

In 2014 Crimea shapes the headlines much as it did some 160 years ago, when the Crimean War pitted Britain, France and Turkey against Russia. The argument in Crimea develops through archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the history to larger questions in history, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. Rather than reducing its subject to a single lesson, Crimea preserves its contradictions and shows why they remain important.
