In the centuries following the first expeditions down the great rivers of northern Russia by Viking traders and adventurers, the foundations for a new state were laid. Many influences combined in this colourful culture which grew up first around the great cities of Kiev and Novgorod – Scandinavian, Finnish, Slav, steppe Turkish, Byzantine. By the time of the Mongol invasions of the 12th century the small enclaves of the old pagan Rus’, tolerated by the Khazar Khans for their commercial usefulness, had evolved into a Christian nation. Its story is told here in fascinating detail, and illustrated with striking colour reconstructions of the warriors themselves.

Summary: Early Russian Warriors
Comment: Your typical men-at-arms title, concise and well-researched text supported by numerous illustrations, including Angus McBride's standard quality plates.
Customer Rating:
Summary: BEWARE!
Comment: This is an example of why Osprey books need to treated with great caution. The book purports to be a source for Medieval Russian military history, yet it is full of errors, overgeneralizations, and poor analysis. This is NOT a fair assesment of the Russian realms or their armed forces in the period in question. I understand that there is only so much that can be done in this type of short format, but this is awful. I felt like I was reading college-freshman book report with a bunch of (granted, nice) images attached.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A great Medieval Russian book
Comment: I loved this book it is one of the best Men-at-Arms series books
they jam a lot of info in to it.I wish their books were longer thought.I guess theirs not much books about Medieval Russia.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good cross-section of early Russia
Comment: This book included quite a few of the tribes that coexisted with Keivan Rus as well. I though the artwork is better than the average in the MAA series, with each plate incorporating its portraits into the whole scene. My only regret is that it is light on Alexander Nevsky and the Mongol invasions - just when Russian history starts to get interesting.
