A tribute to the Cossack people. For 500 years the word "Cossack" has conjured up an image of fearsome horse-back warriors renowned as much for their cruelty and carousing as for their bravery and battle-skills. Suffering after the Revolution, they are now beginning to resume their identity.

ISBN 0304341401 144pp Illustrated Hardback. This copy is in fine unmarked condition in a very good unclipped dust wrapper that is sunned to the spine. Cossacks. The name Cossack (Ukrainian kozak) is derived from the Turkic kazak (free man), meaning anyone who could not find his appropriate place in society and went into the steppes, where he acknowledged no authority. In European sources the term first appears in a dictionary of the Cuman language in the mid-13th century. It is also found in Byzantine sources and in the instructions issued by Italian cities to their colonies on the Black Sea coast, where it is applied to armed men who were engaged in military service in frontier regions and protected trade caravans traveling the steppe routes. By the end of the 15th century the name acquired a wider sense and was applied to those Ukrainians who went into the steppes to practice various trades and engage in hunting, fishing, beekeeping, the collection of salt and saltpeter, and so on. Since this time the Cossacks have proved themselves to be capable of disciplined military behaviour both within and independent of any fighting force.
