At the beginning of 1917, the three empires fighting on the Eastern Front were reaching their breaking points, but none was closer than Russia. After the February Revolution, Russia's ability to wage war faltered and her last desperate gamble, the Kerensky Offensive, saw the final collapse of her army. This helped trigger the Bolshevik Revolution and a crippling peace, but the Central Powers had no opportunity to exploit their gains, and a year later, both the German and Austro-Hungarian empires surrendered and disintegrated.

Concluding his acclaimed series on the Eastern Front in World War I, Prit Buttar comprehensively details not only these climactic events, but also the "successor wars" that raged long after the armistice of 1918. New states rose from the ashes of empire and war raged as German forces sought to keep them under the aegis of the Fatherland. These unresolved tensions between the former Great Powers and the new states would ultimately lead to the rise of Hitler and a new, terrible world war only two decades later.

An overall good and competent review of the period, it has a good analytical lense but lacks the little stories and personal dramas to really bring this story to life. Often it is too sweeping and too political.

comprehensive but lacking a personal touch

a little difficult to get into for the first couple of chapters but after that quite dramatic I think the reader deserves a bonus for his pronunciation of place and character names .
His deeper voice gives gravitas to what is in the end both a dramatic & tragic history ive always believed there's something poignant about an empire in decline this is particularly true of the Romanov empire and dynasty given the fate of the Tsar and his wife and in particular the children the daughters at least didn't deserve that!

lost empires

A stentorian yet adept synopsis of a confusing and chaotic set of years affecting the eastern European lands and populations.

Depth of vista and coherent narrative of a multiplicity of countries and peoples during a tumultuous age.
