Siberia has had an interesting history, quite distinct from that of Russia. Providing a comprehensive history of Siberia from the earliest times to the present, this book covers every period of Siberia's history in an accessible way.
Interesting accounts of ancient Siberia and the Russian colonisation of it between 1580 and 1800. The coverage of the modern period feels rather formulaic and stilted although its still interesting to pick up little titbits of information about the history of this huge expanse of land.
