THE GATES OF EUROPE
A History of Ukraine (Revised)
In The Gates of Europe, award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy presents the authoritative history of the Ukraine and its people from the time of Herodotus to the present.
Situated between Europe, Russia, and Asia, Ukraine was shaped by the empires that have used it as a strategic gateway between East and West - from the Romans and Ottomans to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union, all have left a lasting mark on the landscape, making modern Ukraine an amalgam of competing cultures. The mixing of sedentary and nomadic peoples, Christianity, and Islam produced the class of ferocious warriors known as the Cossacks, for example, while the encounter between the Catholic and Orthodox churches bridged Western and Eastern Christianity.
The revised edition includes new material that brings this definitive history up to the present, from the election of Volodymyr Zelensky to the role of Ukraine in Trump's impeachment. As Ukraine once again finds itself at the center of global attention, Plokhy brings its history to vivid life as he connects the nation's past with its present and future.
Serhii Plokhy is the Mykhailo Hrushevsky professor of Ukrainian history and director of the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University. Professor of Ukrainian History and director of the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University. He is the award-winning author of many books on the history of Russia and Eastern Europe, including Chernobyl (winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction) and The Last Empire (winner of the Lionel Gelber Prize). He lives in Burlington, Massachusetts.
