Biography
Elizabeth White is Lecturer in international history at the University of Ulster, UK.
"White’s book complements and supplements existing major scholarship on the SR party, which has focused primarily on the history of the party and its splits, and its terrorist and agrarian policies in the turbulent period between 1905 and 1917. It also contributes to the burgeoning study of the Russian e´migre´ community. Her work, which is based on a comprehensive examination of party archival material, contains some very perceptive insights and useful commentary... White is to be commended for her efforts in producing a book that makes an important contribution to the study of e´migre´ politics, and highlights the significant contribution that the Prague SRs made to the intellectual and political history of inter-war Europe and the Soviet Union." - Alexander Trapeznik, University of Otago; Revolutionary Russia, Vol. 24, No. 2, December 2011
‘In this original study the author has done a very competent job in telling the story of the Prague SR e´migre´ s, and she is right to say that their study is part of European history. Their commentary also makes possible a more profound understanding of developments in the Soviet Union’ -- James D. White, University of Glasgow
