One of the most outstanding features of the political history of Eastern Europe is its domination by foreign powers. Orest Subtelny traces the historic failure of modern East European nations to maintain their independence back to the final years of the seventeenth century and the first decade of the eighteenth, when five foreign empire-builders - the Habsburgs, Saxon Wettins, Ottomans, Romanovs, and Swedish Vasas - made decisive efforts to subjugate the noble-dominated societies of Hungary, Poland-Lithuania, Moldavia, Ukraine, and Livonia. Subtelny contends that the triumph of foreign absolutism in the region cannot be fully understood without considering the nature of its main opponents - the native nobilities. While he views the struggle for political dominance in Eastern Europe in terms familiar to the student of West European history - that is, essentially as a conflict between monarchical absolutism and noble privilege - he focuses on the East European particularities of this confrontation, on the success of the East European nobles in stemming the rise of absolutism in their own societies, an achievement that, ironically, made them more vulnerable to the encroachments of foreign imperialism. Since the histories of the lands of Central and Eastern Europe have traditionally been treated in isolation from one another, Subtelny's synthesis is both enlightening and original. It provides a political counterpart to recent work on the East European economies, and is the first work in English to analyse the establishment of the great continental empires in the eastern part of the European continent.
