  Deng Xiaoping’s rise to power is a tale marked by perseverance, political acumen, and the ability to navigate the turbulent political landscape of 20th-century China. Born in 1904 in the Sichuan province, Deng’s early life was shaped by his education in France, where he studied at the University of Paris. His exposure to Marxist ideas during this time laid the foundation for his later role in the Chinese Communist Party. Upon his return to China, Deng became an important figure in the party’s early years, rising through the ranks as a trusted leader. 
  Deng’s political career began during the Second Sino-Japanese War, where he served in key military roles, building his reputation as a capable leader. However, it was during the Chinese Civil War that Deng truly began to cement his place in the party hierarchy. His involvement in the revolution and his leadership of various military campaigns helped to solidify his standing as a rising star in the Communist Party. Despite the chaos and upheaval surrounding the war, Deng’s strategic thinking and leadership made him an indispensable figure in the fight against both the Japanese and later the Nationalists. 
  After the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, Deng continued to rise through the ranks of the Communist Party, serving in various influential positions. However, his career was not without its setbacks. During the Cultural Revolution, a political movement led by Mao Zedong, Deng fell out of favor and was purged from his positions of power. He was sent to work on a farm, and his political influence was effectively diminished. Yet, despite these challenges, Deng’s political resilience would eventually lead to his return to power.

  In 2004 and 2005, striking images from the Ukraine made their way around the world, among them boisterous, orange-clad crowds protesting electoral fraud and the hideously scarred face of a poisoned opposition candidate. Europe's second-largest country but still an immature state only recently independent, Ukraine has become a test case of post-communist democracy, as millions of people in other countries celebrated the protesters' eventual victory. 
   
   
   
  Any attempt to understand current events in this vibrant and unsettled land, however, must begin with Ukraine's dramatic history. Ukraine's strategic location between Russia and the West, the country's pronounced cultural regionalism, and the ugly face of post-communist politics are all anchored in Ukraine's past. 
   
   
   
  The first Western survey of Ukrainian history to include coverage of the Orange Revolution and its aftermath, this book narrates the deliberate construction of a modern Ukrainian nation, incorporating new Ukrainian scholarship and archival revelations of the post-communist period. 
   
   
   
  Here then is a history of the land where the strategic interests of Russia and the West have long clashed, with reverberations that resonate to this day.
