DJ price clipped, DJ worn and frayed at edges, DJ scuffed and scratched. Foreword by Zbigniew Brzezinski. Introduction by Frederick C. Barghoorn. Viacheslav Maksymovych Chornovil (December 24, 1937 – March 25, 1999) was a Ukrainian politician. A prominent Ukrainian dissident in the Soviet Union, he was arrested multiple times in the 1960s and 1970s for his political views. One of the most prominent political figures of the 1980s–1990s, Chornovil paved the way for contemporary Ukraine to regain its independence. In the late 1980s he actively participated in the Ukrainian national movement becoming the first leader of the People's Movement of Ukraine (better known as Rukh). In 1988 there was a first attempt to create the "Democratic Front in support of Perestroika" in Lviv only to be dispersed by the Soviet OMON canine unit. Later he promoted several nationally oriented actions. Chornovil ran for President of Ukraine in 1991 but was defeated, winning only in western Ukraine. He was one of the most important members of Rukh, People's Movement of Ukraine. He was elected to the Verkhovna Rada for the People's Movement of Ukraine in 1994 and 1998 and was the head of that party. Vyacheslav Chornovil was founder and editor-in-chief of the independent socio-political newspaper Chas-Time (from 1995 to 1999). Chornovil was expected to be the opposition candidate to president Kuchma in the 1999 presidential election. Chornovil's campaign ended, when he died in a car crash. More

London, England: Hamish Hamilton, 1968. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. xii, [2], 240, [2] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Prologue, The Road by Pultava, The Road by Smolensk, and The Road by Stalingrad. Also includes an Epilogue as well as two endpaper maps, and 17 black and white drawings. There have been three major invasions launched against Russia in the last two and a half centuries. Each one started in an atmosphere of optimism and imminent success, each one ended in total, disastrous failure. Charles XIII of Sweden, Napoleon, and Hitler were all convinced in advance of victory, but all three lost. The invading forces were ultimately defeated not by the superior weight of Russian arms, but by a unique mixture of the immense marching distances, the problems of supply, the murderous Russian winter, the vast reserves of sheer manpower available to the Russian commanders which offset their weakness in weapons, and the indomitable will of the ordinary country people when forced to defend their homes.
