About This Item
New York, NY: Poseidon Press, 1992. First Edition, First Printing . Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. First Edition, First Printing. BRAND NEW Copy w/small sticker removal shadow to rear cover verso. Dust jacket under mylar. Epic saga of Russia's colonization of Siberia; from the author's perspective, a sequel to his biography of Ivan the Terrible. Lured by lucrative fur trade, bands of Russians fell on Turkish and Mongol nomads, destroying native cultures and plundering the land, ultimately culminating in laying of the Trans-Siberian Railroad in 1901, facilitating mass migration of Russian peasants into the region. Fascinating historical survey of Russia's frontier lands parachuted into international awarenes by Stalin's transformation of the region into a grim penal colony for criminals and political exiles. Fine copy.
