In reality the original Cossacks of the steppes were the mounted Tatar hordes of Chengis Khan, lance in hand, sweeping westward across the plains and locking up medieval Europe in its walled citadels. It was the Russian princes who first appreciated that it took a Tatar to defeat a Tatar; with the hiring of these warrior~migrants in the Russian service, the Russian Cossack was born to fight the earlier Cossacks, the Turkic~Tatars, Bashkirs, Kirghiz and Mongols. There followed the centuries of Cossack service to the tsars as keepers of the Russian borders to the east, a period marked by the tsars and the Turkish sultans playing the Cossacks off against each other~and the Cossacks' profiting from the two powers' mutual hostility. The Russian Cossacks and the descendants of the Mongol~Tatars in Russian pay eventually spread their hosts across an area extending from Bering Strait to the Baltic. Little by little, though, the Cossack lands were settled from the west, towns and industries sprang up, the migrant herdsmen became farmers, and new settlers came to be labelled Cossacks, diluting the stock. However, after the Cossack units in Petrograd (including the guard of the imperial household) abandoned the tsar to his fate in 1917, it took the implacable machinery of the Russian Revolution only a few years finally to crush the independent spirit of Cossackdom in a tragic twilight of false promises and stark genocide. Today the Cossack is only a memory. In addition to being a record of, and testament to, one of the most remarkable collection of peoples in history, this book throws a particular light on the phenomena which underlie present~day Soviet history: expansionism, central dirigisme, the resettlement of whole peoples, and the replacement of other nationalities by the Slav, all these have been common experience to the people of the Russian~acquired territories long before the Revolution. Savage repressions, betrayals and the use of cunning where force was insufficient ~ these were part and parcel of life under the tsars and the Cossack atamans. In The Horsemen of the Steppes, Colonel Albert Seaton, a highly respected military historian and Russian scholar, gathers together all these strands to write what must be the most complete, authoritative and objective account of the Cossacks, their organisation and way of life, their rise and their decline, vet available. The narrative is illustrated with many maps and with a wide selection of photographs, many of them previously unpublished outside imperial Russia. Colonel Seaton is one of the world's foremost authorities on the political and military history of Russia and Germany of this century.…
