Reviews

A fast-paced account of Ukrainian history from the year dot until the revolution’s end…a good story

—— Economist

This book is a great guide

—— Marcus Tanner , Independent

[An] important and moving book... Ukraine has faded from the headlines. But Krushelnycky's book provides a powerful reminder of why we should care about it. It is the best guide to the subject and is likely to remain so for some time

—— Daily Telegraph

Krushelnycky vividly recreates the energy and carnival-like atmosphere of the revolution

—— Irish Times

Starkey keeps the narrative alive with a combination of sound chronology, peppery opinion and startling detail... Six Wives provides an intriguing new perspective on this key period in English history

—— Daily Telegraph

An extremely balanced book...absorbing

—— Guardian
