Summary
The most acute, informed, and up-to-date account available today of Ukraine and its people, now in its fourth edition."An interesting and provocative read, which will, one hopes, contribute to the Western understanding of what Ukraine is and why it matters."--Volodymyr Kulyk, Harvard Ukrainian Studies"A spirited and eminently learned investigation of who Ukranians say that they are, how they came to be so, and how others view them. ... If you re add only one book of Ukraine, this should probably be it."--Elizabeth Luchka Haigh, H-Net Reviews.
