Ukranian Harvard professor Serhii Plokhy traces the history of Ukraine from the arrival of the Vikings in the 10th century to the current Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea. A multilayered guide to understanding the country's past as well as its future

Located at the western edge of the Eurasian steppe, Ukraine has long been the meeting place of empires - Roman to Ottoman, Habsburg to Russian - and they all left their imprint on the landscape, the language and the people living within these shifting borders. In this authoritative book, Serhii Plokhy traces the history of Ukraine from the arrival of the Vikings in the tenth century to the current Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine and annexation of Crimea. Fascinating and multi-layered, The Gates of Europe is the essential guide to understanding not just Ukraine's past but also its future.
