Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1997. 2nd Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine. 6x1x9. Gilkes, John. 2nd printing. Minimal wear to corners, faint smudges on bottom edge. 1997 Hard Cover. xxviii, 548 pp. Maps by John Gilkes. Includes chronology, notes and index. The Soviet Union crumbles and Russia rises from the rubble, once again the great nation -- a perfect scenario, but for one point: Russia was never a nation. And this, says the eminent historian Geoffrey Hosking, is at the heart of the Russians' dilemma today, as they grapple with the rudiments of nationhood. His book is about the Russia that never was, a three-hundred-year history of empire building at the expense of national identity.
