Summary:

A History of Crimea: From Antiquity to the Present by Kerstin S. Jobst provides a comprehensive historical analysis of Crimea's complex past. The book explores Crimea's evolution from ancient times through various cultural and political influences, including Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods, the Mongol invasion, and its role in the Ottoman Empire. It details the establishment and development of the Crimean Khanate and its eventual annexation by the Russian Empire. The narrative continues through the Crimean War, the impacts of both World Wars, the Soviet era, and the modern political implications following the 2014 annexation by Russia. Jobst aims to offer an in-depth understanding of Crimea's multiethnic composition and strategic geopolitical significance. Intended for historians, scholars, and readers interested in Eastern European history, the book integrates a vast array of sources and images to provide a detailed and nuanced account of the region's history.
