Th e most authoritative history of Ukraine History of Ukraine-Rus’ VOLUME NINE, BOOK 1 Th e Cossack Age, 1650–1653 by Mykhailo Hrushevsky

No period in Bohdan Khmelnytsky’s rule was as rich in international and dynastic plans as the years 1650 to 1653. Aft er the Zboriv Agreement of 1649, when the hetman resolved to fi nd a way to break forever with the Polish-Lithuanian Com- monwealth, he set out to create the military and political conditions to achieve his goal. From Venice to Moscow the wily hetman spun his diplomatic and military plans. Fusing the interests of his new state to those of his own family, he aspired to found a new dynasty by marrying his son to the daughter of the ruler of Moldavia. As Khmelnytsky pursued these goals and aspirations, the Cossacks’ military victories and defeats were shaping the fate of a new Ukraine. Th is turbulent and dramatic phase of Ukraine’s history is covered in volume 9, book 1 of Mykhailo Hrushevsky’s History of Ukraine-Rus’, to be published by CIUS Press in 2005. Until 31 October 2005, volume 9, book 1 of the History can be purchased at the reduced price of $95 (including taxes and shipping) on orders placed by telephone, fax, mail, or e-mail; for orders made on-line the price is $85 (plus taxes and ship- ping). Outside Canada, prices are in US dollars. Aft er the designated date the price will revert to its regular retail price, $119.95 (plus taxes and shipping). Orders can be placed on-line by credit card via a secure Internet connection (at ); by e-mail ([email protected]); by telephone (780-492-2973) or fax (780-492-4967); or by writing to CIUS Press, 450 Athabasca Hall, University of Alberta, Edmonton AB, Canada T6G 2E8.
