    About this audiobook

    World War I and the Russian Revolution together shaped the twentieth century in profound ways. In The End of Tsarist Russia, acclaimed scholar Dominic Lieven connects for the first time the two events, providing both a history of the First World War's origins from a Russian perspective and an international history of why the revolution happened.

    Based on exhaustive work in seven Russian archives as well as many non-Russian sources, Dominic Lieven's work is about far more than just Russia. By placing the crisis of empire at its core, Lieven links World War I to the sweep of twentieth-century global history. He shows how contemporary hot issues such as the struggle for Ukraine were already crucial elements in the run-up to 1914.

    By incorporating into his book new approaches and comparisons, Lieven tells the story of war and revolution in a way that is truly original and thought-provoking.

      A detailed and scholarly look into the diplomacy and geopolitics of the early 20th century leading to WW1. Sure to make any enthusiast of international relations or WW1 happy.

      Of particular use is the in depth look into Russian-Balkan politic through the lenses of Russian diplomatic officialdom and the press of the time, as well as explaining the hostilities of Austria-Hungary in an unapologetic manner.

      Keep in mind this is a diplomatic history and not a social or political history of Russia under Nicholas II, though Lieven does well to explain military problems of the Russian Empire.

      In my opinion the second half of this book, “from the ants view” deserves five stars for its detail, though I feel the IR Department introductions are a bit heavy on their pretense for a general readership but the book is still worth a read/listen.
