Title The gates of Europe : a history of Ukraine / Serhii Plokhy Author Plokhy, Serhii, 1957- (Author) Issue Second trade paperback edition Publication New York : Basic Books, 2021 Scope xxvi, 407 stran : ilustrace, mapy ; 23 cm Country United States Language English Note Glosář Obsahuje bibliografii a rejstřík Annotation "As Ukraine is embroiled in an ongoing struggle with Russia to preserve its territorial integrity and political independence, celebrated historian Serhii Plokhy explains that today’s crisis is a case of history repeating itself: the Ukrainian conflict is only the latest in a long history of turmoil over Ukraine’s sovereignty. Situated between Central Europe, Russia, and the Middle East, Ukraine has been shaped by empires that exploited the nation as a strategic gateway between East and West—from the Romans and Ottomans to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. In The Gates of Europe, Plokhy examines Ukraine’s search for its identity through the lives of major Ukrainian historical figures, from its heroes to its conquerors. This revised edition includes new material that brings this definitive history up to the present. As Ukraine once again finds itself at the center of global attention, Plokhy brings its history to vivid life as he connects the nation’s past with its present and future." --Cover Výrazy tezauru dějiny * Ukrajina Klasifikační znaky 3611.2 - Historie ISBN 978-1-5416-7564-3 Copy count 1, currently available 1 Document kind Monografie
