History of The Cossacks
Nicholas V. Feodoroff

Nova Science Publishers, 1999

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 affiliations, culture, ideology and philosophy, as well as their typical personality characteristics. A picture emerges quite at variance with the image ...

The Cowboy and the Cossack
I'm a voracious reader (not particularly of Westerns) and this book, which I read 15 years ago remains as one of my all time favorites. If any book deserves to be reprinted, it is this one! A must read!

a great story
O'Rourke has managed to take a confusing part of Russian history and not only clarify it but turn in into a compelling story. The book brings to life in vivid detail some of the most important Russian and Ukrainian Folk heros. It read like a novel; I couldn't put it down.

Jean Ure

Overlook Hardcover, 2002

Author brings a lot of confusion into understanding of cossacks.
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 ...

Harold Lamb

Bison Books, 2006

Still very, very good.
I bought this book (and the companion volume) after reading some of Lamb's work in the 'Flashing Swords' ezine and anthology from Pitch-Black Press (Sages and Swords). I'd never heard of Lamb before--and now I've read his work, I'm stumped if I know why that is. Everything that's good about adventure fiction is in this book: strong and cunning protagonists, treacherous villains, and exotic ...

Cossacks in the German Army 1941-1945
Samuel Newland

Routledge, 2002

The Cossacks who wore German uniforms saw their service not as treason to the motherland, but as an episode in the revolution of 1917, part of an ongoing struggle against Moscow and against Communism. A Wehrmacht needing men and an SS hungry for power reinterpreted or ignored Hitler's racist ideology to form entire divisions of Cossack volunteers. German offices developed relationships to "their" Cossacks similar to those in the French and ...

Kozaky Re-enactors Handbook
I've read it and I think it is an excellent guide for anyone wishing to develop a Kozak kit for re-enacting and or living history. The handbooks contains lots of well researched information on 17th century Kozaks, their clothing, weapons, lifestyle and history. A must for any one interested in Eastern European history! Eryk

Harold Lamb

Bison Books, 2007

The concluding volume of Lamb's incomparable Cossack stories
Well worth getting even though Khlit only appears in one story in this final collection of Lamb's remaining Cossack stories. They might not be among Lamb's prime material but he still manages to write an exciting tale that not only entertains the reader but educates him as well. It's no wonder that Lamb was Robert E. Howard's favorite writer.
