Steinberg, J. W. (2024). The military history of the Russian Empire from Peter the Great until Nicholas II. Bloomsbury Publishing.
This book examines the rise and the fall of the Russian Empire through the lens of its military history. In this book I analyze the social dynamic between Russian society and its military over time. Through a focus on civil-military relations, I demonstrate that the Tsarist and regime was built on, and ultimately dependent upon, the support of its military establishment to build its Eurasian empire that exists to this day.
