Basilevsky Alexander. Early Ukraine: A Military and Social History to the Mid-19th Century. Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers,2016. — 397 p.. 2016

This is a history of Ukraine, of the people who inhabit today s north-central region where Ukraine was born, with its distinct language, culture, and social traditions. Here was the medieval civilization of Rus with its capital at Kyiv, which stretched from the great Pripet Marsh down along the Dnipro (Dnieper) River and its tributaries, ending at the great cataracts or “porohy,” the threshold between settled Slavic communities and those of the nomads that roamed the great east European steppe. Referred to redundantly at times as “Dnieper Ukrainef here in the great metropolis of Kyiv was the cradle of modern east European civilization, as great princes of Kyiv built the city-states of today s Russia, Belarus, and what now form the western provinces of Ukraine (the medieval principality of Gali­cia) which include the Carpathian mountains.
