Tsars and presidents : a history of forgotten friendship

Тарсаидзе А.Г. ( Tarsaidze A. )

Among the unfathomable sea of works dedicated to Russo-American relations, this is a truly unique book. Not only because of the value of knowledge collected in it, but also because of the original personality of the author himself – a man who by right, considered his homelands to be both Russia and the USA. Not only did he love both these great countries, be he also understood them. That is why he did not begin to describe the story of their confrontations. Instead, he concentrated on studying the facts about their cooperation; forgotten but extremely interesting. The reader will find out how Russia helped America gain freedom, how Hawaii almost became Russian, who really sold Alaska and how it happened, and how after the Crimean war the Americans salvaged the ships of the Black Sea fleet which had been sunk by Nakhimov..

For historians, polyglots and a wide circle of engaged readers.
