This is a well-written book, comprehensively tracing the history, culture, and politics of the Tatarstan region from ancient times to the Soviet era. The author draws from a wealth of Turkish and Tatar source documents and articles, covering every issue from religion to education to ethnic identity. Interesting Tatar poems are included as well.
