Description: In 1989 Orest Subtelny's Ukraine: A History was published, to international acclaim, as the definitive history of what was at the time a state within the USSR. The five years since then have seen the dismantling of the Soviet bloc and the restoration of Ukraine's independence - a time of celebration for Ukrainians throughout the world and of tumultuous change for those in the homeland.

With this edition of Ukraine: A History, Subtelny revises the story up to the spring of 1993. A new chapter explores the forces that brought about the momentous changes of 1991 and the fast-breaking developments in Ukraine since independence, and indicates some likely directions for the future.
