Table of Contents There can be no region in Europe whose history has been more tortured than Ukraine. During the 20th century Austria, Poland, Russia, Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Romania vied for power over parts of this vast and fragmented area; and its divided peoples rose time and again in vain attempts to win their independence. For the first time in the West, this book gives a succinct summary of all the different armed forces raised among the Ukrainians, and of their uniforms and insignia. These are illustrated in colour and in a selection of extremely rare photographs, dating from the Great War to the aftermath of World War II, when Ukrainian guerrillas continued to defy the Soviet authorities until the mid-1950s. Reviews:
Max Sarche (Gun Mart)
'A most interesting book on a previously neglected subject.' Jeff Mason (Miniature Wargames)
'For anyone with an interest in eastern European early 20th century military history this is an excellent, but brief, introduction. The myriad uniform styles are well illustrated in the colour plates and rare uniform photo illustrations.' John Prigent (Internet Modeler)
'This is a fascinating book . . . Highly recommended to anyone interested in Ukrainian history as well as to figure modellers looking for something different.' John Prigent (Missing-lynx)
'fills a real gap in the literature . . . Recommended.'
