Paperback. The Khmelnytsky Rebellion (1648-1657) and the Rise of CossacksIn January 1648, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, registered Cossack officer, Jesuit-educated, veteran of Ottoman captivity, loyal Crown servant for two decades, fled to the Zaporozhian Sich with nothing but a grievance and a plan. By the following autumn, his combined Cossack-Tatar army had destroyed the two largest Polish armies in Eastern Europe, triggered a general peasant uprising across the Ukrainian borderlands, and set in motion a geopolitical transformation whose consequences shape the politics of the region to this day. The Cossack Flame is the full story of that transformation: the uprising's causes in the structural violence of the Polish magnate system, its military and diplomatic campaigns, the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish communities of Ukraine, the founding of the Cossack Hetmanate, and the long unravelling of Khmelnytsky's achievement in the civil war known as the Ruin.What distinguishes this account is its refusal to serve any single tradition's version of events. The Khmelnytsky Uprising has been claimed by Russian imperial historiography as the joyful reunion of the Slavic peoples, by Ukrainian nationalism as the founding moment of a nation, by Polish memory as a civilisational catastrophe, and by Jewish history as one of the defining pre-Holocaust disasters. Each of these readings is grounded in genuine historical reality. None of them is adequate to the full complexity of what actually happened. The Cossack Flame holds all four in view simultaneously, honouring the Cossack political achievement, mourning the Jewish catastrophe, understanding the Polish loss, and examining the Russian imperial project, without allowing any single narrative to absorb the others.For readers who want to understand why Ukraine and Russia are fighting a war whose justifications are drawn directly from the seventeenth century, this is where that history begins.

The Khmelnytsky Rebellion (1648-1657) and the Rise of Cossacks
In January 1648, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, registered Cossack officer, Jesuit-educated, veteran of Ottoman captivity, loyal Crown servant for two decades, fled to the Zaporozhian Sich with nothing but a grievance and a plan. By the following autumn, his combined Cossack-Tatar army had destroyed the two largest Polish armies in Eastern Europe, triggered a general peasant uprising across the Ukrainian borderlands, and set in motion a geopolitical transformation whose consequences shape the politics of the region to this day. The Cossack Flame is the full story of that transformation: the uprising's causes in the structural violence of the Polish magnate system, its military and diplomatic campaigns, the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish communities of Ukraine, the founding of the Cossack Hetmanate, and the long unravelling of Khmelnytsky's achievement in the civil war known as the Ruin.
What distinguishes this account is its refusal to serve any single tradition's version of events. The Khmelnytsky Uprising has been claimed by Russian imperial historiography as the joyful reunion of the Slavic peoples, by Ukrainian nationalism as the founding moment of a nation, by Polish memory as a civilisational catastrophe, and by Jewish history as one of the defining pre-Holocaust disasters. Each of these readings is grounded in genuine historical reality. None of them is adequate to the full complexity of what actually happened. The Cossack Flame holds all four in view simultaneously, honouring the Cossack political achievement, mourning the Jewish catastrophe, understanding the Polish loss, and examining the Russian imperial project, without allowing any single narrative to absorb the others.
For readers who want to understand why Ukraine and Russia are fighting a war whose justifications are drawn directly from the seventeenth century, this is where that history begins.

Acerca del autor
Ciarán Rourke-O'Mahony is an Irish historian and writer whose work focuses on the contested borderlands of European and Eurasian history - the frontier zones where civilisations met, collided, and shaped each other in ways that the histories of single nations tend to obscure. His books approach their subjects with the rigour of serious historical scholarship and the narrative ambition of literary nonfiction: he is interested in the specific human beings caught in the large historical forces, in the structural conditions that make great events possible, and in the competing memories that different communities construct from the same violent past. His particular interests include the early modern period in Eastern Europe, the political and religious history of the Orthodox world, and the geopolitics of empire and statehood across the Eurasian interior. He writes for readers who want to understand not merely what happened but why it happened and what it continues to mean.
