«The Gates of Europe» Serhii Plokhy
€15.00
Located at the western edge of the Eurasian steppe, Ukraine has long been the meeting place of empires — Roman to Ottoman, Habsburg to Russian — and they all left their imprint on the landscape, the language and the people living within these shifting borders. In this authoritative book, Harvard Professor and acclaimed author of Chernobyl, Serhii Plokhy traces the history of Ukraine from the arrival of the Vikings in the tenth century to the current Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine and annexation of Crimea.
Fascinating and multilayered, The Gates of Europe is the essential guide to understanding not just Ukraine’s past but also its future.

Not an anarchist read with some bits of questionable analysis here and there but crucial for those who have no prior knowledge of the region to understand the war and politics around it.
