While much of the literature on this history tends to focus on epochs, \u003ci\u003eThe Russian Military and the Creation of Empire \u003c\/i\u003euses a variety of archival sources to capture this aspect of modern Russia from Peter the Great right up to the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn W. Steinberg analyzes the social dynamic between Russian society and its military over time. Through a focus on civil-military relations, he demonstrates that both the Tsarist and Soviet regimes were built on, and ultimately dependent upon, the support of the military. Case studies of significant battles are also used throughout the volume to reveal insights into the roles, missions, and capabilities of the Russian military since 1689. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Russian Military and the Creation of Empire \u003c\/i\u003eis a vital study for all students of modern Russia and the history of modern warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJohn W.
