Winner of the Wolfson History Prize and shortlisted for the Duff Cooper Prize

Ultimately this book shows, memorably and brilliantly, Russia embarking on its strange, central role in Europe's existence, as both threat and protector - a role that continues, in all its complexity, into our own lifetimes.
