Upon publication in 2001, Russia’s First Civil War
by Chester Dunning was greeted by scholars as a “historical
tour de force,” the first major post-Marxist reassessment of
the Time of Troubles. Now available in an abridged paperback, A
Short History of Russia’s First Civil War is ideally suited
for classroom use.
Praise for the first edition:
“Dunning’s new book is a historical tour de force, a major
reconceptualization of Russia’s Time of Troubles, 1598–1613.”—Carol
B. Stevens, American Historical Review
“A sweeping, detailed, readable account of the first Russian
civil war and an excellent analysis of the war’s causes and
development. . . . This one deserves a place on the shelf of anyone
interested in the period.”—Martha Luby Lahana, The
Russian Review
“Dunning’s book is a welcome addition to the literature
on the Time of Troubles, offering a chronological narrative of events
that provides more detail on the military campaigns of 1604–1607
than other English-language accounts.”—Maureen Perrie,
Slavic Review
“We can thank Chester S. L. Dunning for explaining, much more
than anyone before him, why and how this stunning reversal of fortunes
occurred.”—Marshall Poe, Times Literary Supplement
“This is clearly the best and most judicious account of the
Time of Troubles in any language. A magnificent achievement that will
significantly benefit the reading world, especially those interested
in Russia and comparative civil disorders.”—Richard Hellie,
University of Chicago
