We Shall Be Masters

“Miller’s terrific book reminds that Russia made moves toward the East five hundred years ago, and explains why ignoring the Russian factor in Asian geopolitics today would be a big mistake.”-Michael McFaul, author of From Cold War to Hot Peace“Miller presents a Russia little known in the West: a Eurasian power that treats its eastern calling as seriously as it does its western one.Exceptionally well written and argued, We Shall Be Masters helps us understand Russia on its own terms and offers historical insight into the future of its relations with China, its main rival and occasional ally.”-Serhii Plokhy, author of The Gates of Europe“Challenges the conventional view that [Russia] has enduring interests in the Far East…For Russia, Miller argues, Asia has been a land of unfulfilled promises.”-Foreign Affairs“Captures the immensity, complexity, and importance of Russia’s eastern borderlands through the eyes of its explorers…Comprehensive and fluidly written.”-Publishers WeeklyEver sinc
