4.0 out of 5 stars
Good cross-section of early Russia
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.

ganz gut
Hier haben wir eines der Osprey-Hefte, bei dem sich meine Begeisterung in Grenzen hält. Es gibt zu viele Ungenauigkeiten, die einfach hätten vermieden werden können. Schade.

BEWARE!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Armies of Medieval Russia, 750-1250 (Men-At-Arms Series, 333) (Paperback)
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.

Your typical men-at-arms title, concise and well-researched text supported by numerous illustrations, including Angus McBride's standard quality plates.
