First published in 1996, A History of Ukraine quickly became the authoritative account of the evolution of Europe’s second-largest country. In this fully revised and expanded second edition, Paul Robert Magocsi examines recent developments in the country’s history and uses new scholarship in order to expand our conception of the Ukrainian historical narrative.
Maintaining his depiction of the multicultural reality of past and present Ukraine, Magocsi tells the story of Ukraine’s various peoples and its diasporas, including the Carpatho-Rusyns. Comprehensive, innovative, and geared towards teaching, the second revised and expanded edition of A History of Ukraine: The Land and Its Peoples is ideal for teachers, students, and general readers interested in this important part of the world.
