The years and months that carried Europe into the tragedies of 1914 and beyond do not wane in importance or impact as Dominic Lieven takes us into the lives that helped end the age of empire. And yet, as the book reveals in exquisite detail, so much was left unresolved. By telling the fall of Tsarist Russia through the lens of Kiev, Lieven illuminates the characters—some renowned, some obscure—who rewrote history and the national tensions that haunt us still.‎
