This book is the most acute, informed, and up-to-date account available today of Ukraine and its people. Andrew Wilson brings his classic work up to the present, through the Orange Revolution and its aftermath, including the 2006 election, the ensuing crisis of 2007, the Ukrainian response to the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008, the economic crisis in Ukraine, and the 2009 gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine. It looks forward to the key election in 2010, which will revisit many of the issues that were thought settled in 2004.
Praise for earlier editions:
"Marvelous. . . . A perfect introduction to a fascinating culture: strongly recommended." —Library Journal
"[A] sweeping introductory examination of Ukrainian identity and history. . . . An exceptional history, the kind that supplies not pat answers but food for thought within a lush context of documented and mythological past."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

The Ukrainians
An interesting history of the Ukrainian people and nation, throughout all the turmoil and difficulties of not only the twentieth century but before that too. His scope (from antiquity to the present, post-Soviet Ukraine: one half of the book is dedicated to post 1991 Ukraine)is far-reaching and well-researched. One of its greatest merit lies in that it offers an "outsider's" perspective to the traditional approaches to Ukrainian history - either a strongly nationalistic one or a "Russocentric" one. Much detail is also given on the possible futures of the Ukraine and its people; it is definitely a book to read to further one's knowledge about this long-misunderstood and little-known (despite its key roles in European history) country.
