About This Item
text is clean and unmarked in a square and tight binding. Only defect is light foxing to the top text block edge. DJ is smudged with slight wear to the outer edges. DJ has no tears or chips. From the front DJ flap, " 'The Shadow of the Winter palace' is a panoramic, illuminating account of a dynasty in decline - but it is much more than that. Edward Crankshaw's brilliant history of Russia under the last four Tsars shows how that colorful and mysterious country had within it the seeds not only of revolution but also of many aspects of modern Russia which we are apt to think of as peculiar to the Soviet state."
Synopsis
The Shadow of the Winter Palace: Russia's Drift to Revolution, 1825-1917 Crankshaw examines 19th-century Russia, between the failed Decembrist conspiracy in 1825 up until it's WWI collapse - a tempestuous time in the political world, but one that was also a Golden Age of intellectual and artistic achievement.
