‘Magocsi has produced a carefully written and thoughtfully compiled volume, the first true illustrated history of Ukraine in a great many years and the first of its kind in English language.’ - Thomas M. Prymak, Journal of Ukrainian Studies 33-34: 2008-2009 “Robert Magocsi has remarkably succeeded in producing in one volume a well-written and interestingly illustrated volume of the history of Ukraine.” - Taras Hunczak (The Russian Review) “Essential reading for anyone interested in European history and commerce.” - Henry S. Cohn (The Federal Lawyer) “This well-written and handsome volume must be thoroughly recommended for anyone with an interest in Ukraine.” - Davis Daycock (Winnipeg Free Press) “[Magocsi’s] cartographic and bibliographic skills are superb, and his instinct for what readers need and want is unerring ... This is, in sum, a well crafted, much needed, extremely useful text.” - John-Paul Himka (Canadian Slavonic Papers)
