Russia's First Civil War

Among Dunning's books is Russia's First Civil War: The Time of Troubles and the Founding of the Romanov Dynasty, twelve years in the research and writing, nearly seven hundred pages long, a History Book Club selection in 2001, published by the Pennsylvania State University Press.[3] Dunning explains further in the preface that though there were earlier civil wars, mostly of a local nature among princes in Russia, modern Russia begins in 1613 with the founding of the Romanov dynasty. Preceding that dynasty was the 15-year Time of Troubles, a reference to the severe unrest that nearly destroyed Russia after Boris Gudunov and before the appearance of the czar Michael Romanov.[3] This lengthy work is condensed to 342 pages in the 2004 volume entitled A Short History of Russia's First Civil War.[4]
