Riassunto:

Traces the story of the Cossacks from the time of Ivan the Terrible, through the uprisings of the Volga pirate Stenka Razin and the imposter Pugachev, to the harnessing of the Cossack Hosts to the Tsarist cause. Ure has used his experience as a travel writer to pick out the most dramatic stories from rich vein of Cossack legend.
