Sokyrko O. Ukrains'ky Rubikon. The Battle of Poltava, 1709. Part I,II. /2 volumes/. (The Ukrainian Rubicon)

"The Battle of Poltava of 1709 is one of the central events of the Northern War of 1700-1721 which had a decisive impact on its results, and thus on the fate of all its participants. The new research by historian Oleksiy Sokyrko explains why the events under Poltava, which seem to be well known and understandable, have become a sort of a watershed in the history of the Cossack Ukraine. The first volume describes the pre-history of the Northern War, the involvement of the Ukrainian forces, the preconditions of the Battle of Poltava, and the condition of the Swedish army. The second volume depicts the forces of the Ukrainian hetmans and the Russian army, as well as gives a detailed overview of the main stages of the Battle of Poltava on 27 June 1709 and its consequences.

It is a valuable acquisition for everybody who is interested in the history of Ukraine."
