The Military History of the Russian Empire from Peter the Great until Nicholas II PDF
by Steinberg John W. Steinberg
Part of the The Bloomsbury History of Modern Russia Series series
Description
This book examines the rise and the fall of the Russian Empire through the lens of its military history. While much of the literature on this history tends to focus on epochs, The Russian Military and the Creation of Empire uses a variety of archival sources to capture this aspect of modern Russia from Peter the Great right up to the present day.
John W. Steinberg analyzes the social dynamic between Russian society and its military over time. Through a focus on civil-military relations, he demonstrates that both the Tsarist and Soviet regimes were built on, and ultimately dependent upon, the support of the military. Case studies of significant battles are also used throughout the volume to reveal insights into the roles, missions, and capabilities of the Russian military since 1689.
The Russian Military and the Creation of Empire is a vital study for all students of modern Russia and the history of modern warfare.
