is an excellent condensed history of Ukraine. Written by an English author who lived on assignment in Ukraine immediately following independence.
I am certain of the title, though a little fuzzy on the author's spelling (can't look for the book now as I am in Kyiv and leaving for Kremenchug in a few hours).
I hope this helps - and Happy Holidays to you and your lady Hans!!

: Dear Brudder Andrusha and Others of course,
: As I will be coming back to Ukraine and hopefully will get my girl to say yes, I need to know much more about Ukraine as a country (history, culture, economics, what have you). If we make it, I want us to be in contact with her motherland a often as necessary, no root cutting here!
: I have been going over the literature here on Brama in the Library section, but have no real criteria to single out books for a beginner like me.
: I interested in a list of books about Ukraine that will provide me with the necessary information to understand more while being and travelling in Ukraine.
: The books can be in English, German or French. From touristic leaflets to scholarly works. I sorta devour everything readable. And... and... they must be for sale, nothing wrong with a library of course, but some stuff you just want to own. Of course I will also go to the Eastern Europe Institute of the universities here, but I like to collect as many different opinions as possible.
: Thanks in advance for the cooperation,
: Sincerly,
