Böcker av Thomas Earl Porter

The purpose of this volume is not simply to compile yet another wearying chronicle of the horrors that have been committed by our fellow human beings. It is intended to give the needed context to understand why such violence has been perpetrated in the past and why it continues to occur so frequently in the contemporary world.

This study provides a political biography of Prince George E. L'vov, the first prime minister of Russia after the fall of the Romanovs. The author uses the career of Prince L'vov to examine the development of liberalism and the advent of a civil society in late Imperial Russia.
