From the rise of Kievan Rus to the grandeur of the Russian Empire, The Story of Russia traces the dramatic history of a nation that reshaped Europe and Asia across the centuries.

Historian R. Van Bergen brings Russia's past to life through vivid storytelling, introducing readers to legendary rulers, epic military campaigns, political intrigue, and the forces that forged one of the world's great powers.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Robert Van Bergen M.A. was one of the first Americans to enter Japan after that nation ended its centuries of isolation following the famous Admiral Perry incident, and won renown in the Asiatic nation for teaching English to its nobility, becoming Principal of the Nobles' School in Tokyo. While there, he wrote the first comprehensive histories of Japan to appear in English, and acquired considerable additional fame in the West as a result. Later, his visits to Russia intrigued his curiosity as to the nature of the Tsarist regime, prompting his famous history of that nation.
