The Military History of the Russian Empire from Peter the Great until Nicholas II
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-03718-2 (ISBN)
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.
John W. Steinberg is Professor of History at Austin Peay State University, USA. He is the author of All the Tsar's Men: Russia's General Staff and the Fate of the Empire, 1898–1914 (2010) and the co-editor, along with Rex A. Wade, of The Making of Russian History: Society, Culture, and the Politics of Modern Russia (2009). He is also co-series editor, with Tony Heywood and David M. McDonald, of the international research project 'Russia's Great War & Revolution'.
