Description
Dominic Lieven graduated first in his year, 1973, at the University of Cambridge. He was a Kennedy Scholar at Harvard and, on completing his PhD, became a lecturer in the Department of Government at the London School of Economics, where he is now Professor of Russian Government. He has also been a visiting professor at Tokyo and Harvard Universities, as well as a Humboldt Fellow in Göttingen and Munich. He has published widely, writing on aristocracy, late imperial Russia, and empire. Dominic’s most recent book, Russia against Napoleon, was a major new history of the Napoleonic Wars from the Russian perspective which draws on previously unexploited Russian archival sources. The End of Tsarist Russia, to be published by Allen Lane in May 2015, will provide an account of the First World War told from the Russian perspective.
