Description

Description:

A hardcover copy of "All the Russias: The End of an Empire" by Sir Fitzroy Maclean, published by Smithmark Publishers in 1992. The book is a large-format illustrated history covering the sweep of Russian and Soviet history from its origins through the collapse of the Soviet Union, organized and developed by Bato Tomasevic with design by Gane Allesic. Maclean was a British diplomat, soldier, and writer known for his firsthand experience in wartime Yugoslavia and his authoritative writing on Soviet and Eastern European history, lending the text a well-informed, narrative-driven perspective on the empire's final chapter. The dust jacket features a photograph of the Kremlin's gilded onion domes and bell tower against a deep teal sky. A solid addition for collectors of Russian and Soviet history or 20th-century political literature.
