{"product_id":"armies-of-ivan-the-terrible-david-nicolle-9781841769257","title":"Armies of Ivan the Terrible: Russian Troops 1505-1700","description":"It is generally assumed that the military reforms which propelled Russia into the modern world were due solely to the genius of Peter the Great. In fact, his reforms were built upon changes that had taken place during the previous 200 years, since the creation in 1550 of Russia's first full-time military force (the streltsi) by Ivan IV the Terrible. This account traces Russia's armies from that beginning, through the creation of paid regular regiments from1630, up to the reign of Peter the Great. It is illustrated with rare early drawings, photos of surviving artifacts, and dazzling colour reconstructions of exotic military costumes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Nicolle, Viacheslav Shpakovsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841769258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841769257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 6.30w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2006 pg. 102","brand":"David Nicolle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076735987967,"sku":"9781841769257","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_888880af-6b05-471e-a7a4-5105e4e82cdf.jpg?v=1685466540","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/armies-of-ivan-the-terrible-david-nicolle-9781841769257","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
