The year is 1648 and the most powerful empire in Eastern Europe, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, is in turmoil. Cossacks revolt and defeat one Polish army after the other. Serfs attack and kill their Jewish landlords; death and destruction sweep the land. A once peaceful and prosperous society is turned upside down.In the midst of this turmoil, meet a young Cossack, Ivan Dosiak, known as the Red Wolf.Ride with Ivan and smell the blood, smoke, and gunpowder; hear the cries and screams of wounded and dying men and horses as Ivan and the Cossacks blast and hack their way through the ranks of the famous Polish Winged Hussars.Travel with Red Wolf as he leads his Cossack brothers on one of history's greatest sea raids against the Tatar slave-trading stronghold of Caffa. In Caffa, the Cossacks battle Tatar warriors, destroy the city, and free 20,000 Christian slaves.Be with Ivan as he and the Cossacks wipe out a Polish army at the battle of Yellow Waters and then defeat an even larger army at the battle of Korsum to mark the beginning of the end of the Polish empire. See Ivan Dosiak and the whole Cossack army triumphantly enter Kiev on Christmas Day, 1648, to herald the birth of a new nation, Ukraine.The Sword of Retribution rivals Nikolai Gogol's, "Taras Bulba," and Henryk Sienkiewicz's, "With Fire and Sword." Using new scholarly research on 17th century Poland, the author paints a realistic picture of the tyranny of the Polish nobility, the greed of the Jewish Arendators, the misery of the serf, and the fierce determination of the Ukrainian Cossacks.

The Cossacks have always exerted a strong pull on the imagination, whether as the ferocious horsemen who harassed the retreating Grande Armee of Napoleon all the way to the gates of Paris, or as the fiercely independent renegades who made several bloody attempts at rebellion in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and were responsible for various atrocities continuing into the twentieth century. This splendidly-illustrated volume tells the tale of these great warriors, which is itself woven inextricably through the history of the Russian and Soviet empires. Career diplomat and critically-acclaimed travel writer John Ure traces the story of the Cossacks from the times of Ivan the Terrible, who first employed the horsemen of the Don to repel Tartar and Turkish invaders. From this point in history, the Tsars of Russia counted on the service, if not always the loyalty, of the Cossacks. After the period of Cossack rebellions, led successively by Bogdan, Stenka Razin, Mazeppa, and Pugachev, the Tsars once again harnessed the Cossacks for their own purposes, using them in the front lines in the wars against Napoleon and in the Caucasus, and later to suppress the fomenting revolution. Brutally repressed during the Stalin era, the Cossacks have experienced a resurgence in the post-Communist era. In the early- and mid-nineties. Cossack units were re-established in the Russian Army, and some Cossacks saw action in Bosnia and Chechmya. Once again, they are reclaiming their role in history as a force in both the political and military spheres. John Ure also traces the influence of the Cossacks on Russian culture: writers such as Tolstoy (who served in a Cossack regiment in the Caucasus). Pushkin. Lermontov, and Pasternak all romanticized the Cossacks in print. Featured in this volume in full-color are a glorious and broad selection of paintings, lithographs, and photographs that document this fascinating history. The Cossacks emerge from this narrative in all their brilliant glory -- dashing and cruel, unpredictable and immensely brave. Book jacket.

Warriors and Peasants depicts the lives of the Don Cossacks in late Imperial Russia. The dual identity of the Cossacks, that of the steppe and of the settled Slavic areas, is emphasized as the key to their unique culture. The book explores how that identity manifested and preserved itself by focusing on the Cossack tradition, their economy, their families and their communities. Far from being moribund and close to collapse, the book concludes that the Cossack tradition remained among the most vibrant in the Empire.

This interesting and informative book presents a picture of warriors quite different from today's flyover heroes and values diametrically opposed to the 'didn't inhale' crowd. Mr Feodoroff, a Cossack himself, offers us a detailed history of his people, including their politics, military afflictions, culture, ideology and philosophy, as well as their typical personality characteristics. A picture emerges quite at variance with the image projected by the media in the West. We are presented with rare illustrations and descriptions of a lifestyle filled with adventure and faith.
