"As Ukraine is embroiled in an ongoing struggle with Russia to preserve its territorial integrity and political independence, celebrated historian Serhii Plokhy explains that today's crisis is a case of history repeating itself: the Ukrainian conflict is only the latest in a long history of turmoil over Ukraine's sovereignty. ... This revised edition contains new material that brings this definitive history up to the present, from the election of Volodymyr Zelensky to the role of Ukraine in Trump's impeachment. As Ukraine once again finds itself at the center of global attention, Plokhy brings its history to vivid life as he connects the nation's past with its present and future."--Back cover.

Dry but informative submitted by Xris on June 7, 2022, 8:34pm I had a hard time getting through the book, especially at the beginning. But I was surprised to find out that the Mongols once ruled Ukraine. I also didn't know the extent to which Stalin and his regime killed the peasants of Ukraine by starvation. I really wanted to read this book to get more insight on the question of who laid claim to Ukraine first, the native people or Russians. It definitely helped, once I was able to get through it.
