Aleksandr M. Gorčakov and
the Reformation of the Tsardom
A. M. Gorčakov, a politician and diplomat known beyond Russia's borders, was confronted with the task of restoring power and prestige to the regime after Russia's fatal defeat in the Crimean War. Horst Günther Linke presents the first comprehensive biography of the statesman compiled from sources, for which he was also able to access previously unreleased material from Russian archives.
