The March of Muscovy

In "The March of Muscovy," author Harold Lamb explores the origins and expansion of Russia, beginning with a narrative of a primitive Slavic town on a modest river. He delves into the forces that shaped the migration and colonization of the Eurasian continent, drawing upon the voices of historical figures such as merchants, explorers, and diplomats. Combining rigorous research with a vibrant narrative style, Lamb illustrates how the ambitious work initiated by Ivan the Terrible has influenced Russia's ongoing development as a nation.
