The Black Sea: A History
"King is eloquent in bemoaning the ecological destruction caused by post-Second World War industrialization. The general reader and the specialist will read King's book with pleasure and profit. May it encourage other scholars to turn their attention to a much neglected region."--The InternationalHistory Review"This is a book of enormous scope that excels in innovation and fresh insight.... A book covering 2700 years in 276 pages would appear to face formidable obstacles.  Charles King, however puts all doubts to rest.  His argument does not waver and his strokes of insight surprise us on every page. This is one we all ought to read.--Peter Weisensel,The Russian Review
