A History of Crimea

Book Details
About this book:

A History of Crimea From ancient Greek harbors and Scythian horsemen to the Crimean Khanate, Ottoman and Russian empires, Soviet rule, and the crisis of 2014, *A History of Crimea* reveals why this small peninsula has carried such enormous weight in world history. Set between the Black Sea and the Eurasian steppe, Crimea has been a crossroads of trade, empire, warfare, faith, and identity.

Accessible, richly layered, and historically grounded, this book moves beyond rulers and treaties to explore the many peoples who shaped the peninsula—Tatars, Ukrainians, Russians, Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Karaites, and others. It is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand how Crimea became one of the most contested, beautiful, and symbolically charged regions in Eastern Europe.
