East of the Sun by Benson Bobrick
The very word Siberia evokes a history and reputation as awesome as it is enthralling. In this acclaimed book on Russia's conquest of its eastern realms, Benson Bobrick offers a story that is both rich and subtle, broad and deep. From its conquest by Cossacks and its exploration and settlement in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, through its terrifying Gulag history, to its modern place in a world hungry for natural resources, Siberia -covering a sixth of the world's surface - has a history unlike any other land. East of the Sun captures all of Siberia's history with a depth and flavor that will satisfy both well-informed historians and newly-cast Russophiles alike.Benson Bobrick is the author of numerous critically acclaimed books, including Broad as the Waters: The Tale of the English Bible and the Revolution It Inspired and Angel in the Whirlwind: The Triumph of the American Revolution. He received his doctorate from Columbia University. He was awarded the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters Literary Award in 2002. His wife, Hilary, and he live in Vermont.
