Hosking approaches Russian history through the question of its national identity, considering why Russian orthodoxy failed to integrate the nation, and assessing the work of the Tsars as empire builders profoundly alienated from their people. "A "tour de force" of historical argument, vividly written, courageously argumentative" Michael Ignatieff, "Observer".
â It is unlikely that a clearer, more stimulating account of the Russiansâ extraordinary period of imperial history will be written.â Philip Marsden, Spectator
