Cossacks and Janissaries. Ukraine in the Christian-Muslim wars of 1500-1700
by Taras Chukhlіb
Description
The book explores the place and role of the Cossacks and nobility of Ukraine-Rus’ as well as the Cossack state (Hetmanate) in the European-Ottoman wars. The book’s author depicted the long period of confrontation between the Christian and Islamic civilizations in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period, important for the world historical process. The reader's attention is drawn not only to the military actions of the Cossacks against the Ottoman Empire, whose elite unit was the Janissary Corps, but also to the illustration of the peaceful relations of Ukraine with the Ottomans and Girays during the years 1500-1700.
