Imperial Russia, 1801-1917 by Michael Karpovich
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A quick study running from Peter the Great to Nicholas II. The assassination of the final czar and his family is omitted, possibly because this is a study aimed at high school students. Seeing it all condensed in less than one hundred pages (not counting bibliography and index), there appears a direct like from Alexander II's post-serfdom communes to the collectivist economy of Soviet Russia. Despite the target demographic, this is a good and concise history of the Russian nation under the czars.
