JELAVICH, Barbara. Russia's Balkan Entanglements, 1806-1914 . Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, (1993). Second Printing. Pp. (4),v-xi,(1),1-292. Illustrated with maps. 8vo, red cloth with gilt lettering to spine. "This book examines the reasons for the Russian involvement in the Balkan peninsula and attempts to explain the connections that drew the Russian government into entanglements that were not only dangerous to its great power interests but contained emotional commitments that were difficult to control. The wars, waged at a high human and economic cost, limited the resources that could be spent on internal development and, in particular when they ended in defeat, led to domestic unrest and, after 1856 and 1917, to drastic internal change." - from the preface.

Rights and obligations defended and extended: The Greek revolution and the Russo-Turkish War, 1828-9; 3. The defense of the status quo: The Crimean War; 4.
