Philip Longworth presents a richly detailed account of the Cossack communities that flourished across the steppes of Russia and Ukraine, tracing their origins as free frontier fighters to their central role in shaping the fate of the Russian Empire. With scholarly authority and narrative drive, the work details the great Cossack rebellions, their legendary cavalry campaigns, and their complex relationship with the tsars who both feared and depended upon them. Longworth illustrates how this proud and fiercely independent culture ultimately became both a symbol of Russian imperial power and a casualty of its ambitions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893810016475,"sku":"2026200009187-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/41863bae-4310-4d2f-b495-b6caf6f13c4d.png?v=1782040489","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009187-secondhand-the-cossacks","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
