This book surveys the history of Manchuria, focusing particularly on the Russian and Soviet perspective. It outlines early colonisation of the region and examines the importance of the Chinese Eastern Railway, a branch of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the remarkable railway city of Harbin for consolidating the Russian presence in the region and for developing the region’s economy. It goes on to consider twentieth century developments, including the Japanese invasion and the puppet state of Manchukuo. Throughout, the book reflects on the nature of empire, especially Russian\/Soviet imperialism and its similarities to and differences from other nations’ imperial ventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367752675\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Dukes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44646847086842,"sku":"9780367752675","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697219395663_book.jpg?v=1697575789","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/russia-in-manchuria-a-problem-of-empire-9780367752675","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
