Restless Empire: A Historical Atlas of Russia Hardcover – Illustrated, 11 May 2015

this should be in every library

This is a well-documented book filled with maps that show the growth and decline of the empire. It makes clear the historic, geographic, economic, and ethnic basis for distrust and unrest throughout the former Soviet Union. While there may be detail errors in some maps, the overall history is clearly described.

Did not read it yet but wife liked it.

Very well done. Great illustrations and superior, explanatory text.

Perfect for a person who loves maps and long lines!
