The Cossacks

By Philip Longworth

The story of a people who have survived throughout history…

The legendary Cossack, the sabre wielding horseman of the lonely Russian steppes, is brought vividly alive in the first complete account of Cossack history in the English language.

This panoramic view of Cossack history from the 15th to 20th century is a comprehensive study of a people whose culture has shaped both modern Ukraine and Russia.

Philip Longworth’sThe Cossacks is an informative and stimulating account for the general reader on the five-hundred year history of a fascinating people.
