Men-at-Arms 412: Ukrainian Armies 1914–55

by P Abbot & E Pinak, illustrated by O Rudenko & D Adamenko

Published by Osprey Publishing Ltd, ISBN 1-84176-668-2, 48 pages.

This book fills a real gap in the literature and deals with Ukrainian forces from before the Russian Revolution through to independence at the collapse of the Soviet Union. Anti-Boshevik, anti-German, anti-Soviet, they’re all here with a variety of uniforms and weapons from sources ranging from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to home-made uniforms and both issued and captured German and Soviet uniforms, including Cossack dress. Looking for “something different” as a T-35 crew? Here you are, put some of these fellows with one marked as in a well-known photograph!

Recommended.
