Description

No inscriptions or marks. Crease to upper edge of front cover, none to rear or to spine. A very clean very tight copy with bright slightly indented boards and no bumping to corners. 256pp. The author traces the story of the Cossacks from the time of Ivan the Terrible, through the uprisings of the Volga Stenka Razin and the imposter Pugachev, to the harnessing of the Cossack Hosts in the Tsarist cause. He recounts their exploits in Napoleon's retreat from Moscow and how they struggled against the British Raj for supemacy in Central Asia. He continues right up to the times when Stalin persecuted them.
