Beskrivning
Russia’s Turkish Wars examines the changing place of the Balkan population in Russian military thought, strategic planning, and occupation policies. It reveals choices made by the tsarist strategists and commanders during the Russian-Ottoman wars, reflecting a general reconceptualization of the role of "the people" in modern warfare that took place during the nineteenth century.The book explores the tsarist military’s engagement with the population of the Balkans in the wake of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. It draws on previously unpublished materials from Russian archives as well as a broad range of published primary sources. Victor Taki recounts the discussions among Russian military men and the international relations of the nineteenth century. Russia’s Turkish Wars ultimately provides a new perspective on both military change and Imperial Russia’s Balkan entanglements.

Recensioner i media

“This is an important study based on Russian archival and published primary sources. Victor Taki’s research and analysis results in an original and convincing argument that, from mid-century onward, the Russian military became acutely aware of the divisions among civilian populations in areas of potential conflict that could be dangerous to military operations or could be taken advantage of by the army to secure victory, and that the army needed to be prepared to engage with the military potential of civilians.”
