More Info
This is simply the finest work available in the English language on the Cossacks. It is not only encyclopedic in its treatment of the subject,drawing on historical and ethnograhic materials in Ukrainian,Russian,Polish,Turkish and Swedish sources but often reads as fast moving as an adventure novel. Hrushevsky not only recites dry facts and dates but puts forth both fascinating and compelling analysis of the importance of the Cossacks to both the idea and formation of the Ukrainian nation and the history of Eastern Europe as a whole. Anyone who thrilled to Gogol's" Taras Bulba" or the historical fiction of Harold Lamb and wants to learn of the true background of the Zaporozhian Cossacks of the Sietch , simply cannot pass by this work. As fine as the works of Nicholas Chirovsky, Linda Gordon,Patrick March and Phillip Long-worth are on the subject, they cannot compare to this comprehen- sive volume.
