Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In 1988 Orest Subtelny's Ukraine was published to international acclaim, as the definitive history of what was at the time a state within the USSR. In the years since we have seen the dismantling of the Soviet bloc and the restoration of Ukraine's independence - a time of celebration for Ukrainians throughout the world, and of tumultuous change for those in the homeland.

With this new edition of Ukraine: A History, Subtelny revises the story up to the spring of 2000. A new chapter focuses on the achievements and failures of the new state and society in international affairs, internal politics, and economic and social development.

About the Author
OREST SUBTELNY is Professor of History and Political Science at York University. Among his other books are Domination of Eastern Europe: Native Nobilities and Foreign Absolutism, 1500-1715, Ukrainians in North America: An Illustrated History.

5.0 out of 5 stars For anyone who wants to learn about this fascinating land, October 13, 2001
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
First published in 1988, Orest Subtelny's Ukraine: A History has again been newly updated in a third edition. This 736 page volume spans from the earliest times to the modern day, covering everything from ancient Greek colonization to the recent Ukraine diaspora. Orest Subtelny (Professor of History and Political Science at York University) goes into extreme depth and detail with a text that is significantly enhanced with maps, tables, and the occasional black-and-white photograph. Highly recommended for its lucidity, meticulous attention to detail, and scholarly precision, Ukraine: A History is a "must" for anyone who wants to learn about this fascinating land and its people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely resourceful and detailed., January 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Ukraine: A History (Paperback)
I am a student of Prof. Subtelny at York University. His book on Ukraine was easy to understand, very informative, and quite revealing. Not only is he a great author, but a fine professor as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Source for Ukrainian History, June 8, 2001
By A Customer
Mr. Subtelny's "Ukraine: A History" rates a notch above Mr. Magosci's. Well-written and very readable. This is the volume one reaches for when facts on the Ukrainian history are required.
