Trade Review"Mark von Hagen has produced a very condensed but solid work on one of the most complex yet insufficiently studied topics of the Great War. I highly recommend his book . . ."
-- Ernest Gyigel * Journal of Ukrainian Studies *
"The book provides an illuminating and clearly focused outline that will benefit university teachers. Students also will appreciate a condensed and lucid version of a period that historians are often reluctant to approach because of its sheer complexity and rapidly changing regimes."
