A History of the Peoples of Siberia

Klappentext
Forsyth's book greatly contributes to the material available to those seeking to form a general framework for the understanding of European imperialism and its long-term effects. It also contains many insights for those trying to understand events unfolding in the former USSR today. If the Russian People are to succeed in their endeavor to build a post-imperial state, they will have to face up to their past. This book makes an important contribution to that end.
