Lieven, D. C. B

"World War I and the Russian Revolution together shaped the twentieth century in profound ways ... Dominic Lieven connects the two events, providing both a history of the war's origins from a Russian perspective and an international history of why the revolution happened"--Back cover.

Using rare Russian archives, the author examines the War of 1812 when Napoleon and his troops invaded Russia and the wars following as Russian armies entered France and brought peace to Europe.
