Reviews
"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
"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
"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
"Dunning's book on Russia's First Civil War is a highly detailed, readable account of a turbulent time in Russian history that has relevancy even today as Russia continues to struggle with its infant democracy."
-Leo J. Daugherty III Journal of Slavic Military Studies
