The Cossacks An Illustrated History John Ure Books

I found this book to be very interesting. Having read Tolstoy's "The Cossack's" , this was a good historical account to match up with Leo's literary expose.

The Cossacks An Illustrated History John Ure Books Reviews

Author is telling a story of Russian cossacks who evolved from Ukrainians that fled into Don region after they were defeated by Russian tsarina Catherin, but he don't bother himself to dig deeper to find a historical truth. His story is heavily biased by Soviet and Russian propaganda that impute ancient Ukrainian history (including Cossack movement) to Russian empire.

If you want to know a real story about where cossacs are coming from, read "Ukraine A History" by Orest Subtelny, or "A History of Ukraine" by Paul Robert Magocsi instead. You will get much more understanding of these fearless warrior's who were following democratic principles and who managed to stay autonomous for over 300 years.
Fully illustrated, mostly with paintings. It can be used as an introduction or a quick read, but it is not a work of scholarship.
Enjoyed this book
My heritage ...my history...wonderfully put together book xxx
great book on a obscure band of brothers. They live today, just not quite as history tells us
This book answered all the questions that i would ever ask about the cossacks.Right from their origins through the wars and beyond the book encapsulates the spirit and honor that were the Cossacks.I originally thought of them as wild,disorganized rabble,however the book puts all imagery into perspective in chronological order.It is well organized and illustrated to show the Cossacks as they were.A complete book if ever there was one.I now want to purchase some Cossack posters.
I found this book to be very interesting. Having read Tolstoy's "The Cossack's" , this was a good historical account to match up with Leo's literary expose.
