Crimea In War and Transformation
Published by Oxford University Press, Crimea in War and Transformation is the first book to examine the toll of the Crimean War on civilians living at or near the battlefields from mobilization through reconstruction. It also:
-
is the first book to consider the impact of the Crimean War on animals and the environment;
-
explores the aftermath of war, including the mass exodus of Crimean Tatars;
-
shows how violence transformed state and society at home and across the empire; and
-
provides crucial context for understanding Crimea's position in Russia and Ukraine today.
Current Research
A collaboration with Russian language specialists, Dr. Nicholas Gossett and Ekaterina Zakharova, the CWTP makes the Russian imperial experience of the Crimean War accessible to Anglophone students and scholars by translating key documents of the Crimean War from Russian into English.
