Description: "Preface to the new edition, Karl Schlèogel"--Title page verso.
Review Quotes: "One of the best works on Ukraine's highly peculiar geography, history, and modernity I've ever come across. . . . As Schlögel himself points out repeatedly, the struggle for Ukraine's future is not going to end any time soon. Books such as this inspire hope that the struggle is not in vain and that Ukraine will eventually emerge as a fully fledged European state--not just 'a country at the edge.'"--Vitali Vitaliev "Geographical"
