This book focuses on the major military achievements of the Zaporizhian Hetman Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachnyi, whose victories brought him fame both at sea and on land. It examines the Cossacks’ naval campaign of 1616 under his command, which ended with the capture of the powerful Ottoman fortress of Kaffa.

The main emphasis is placed on a detailed account of Sahaidachnyi’s military operations during the Polish–Muscovite War of 1617–1618. The author explores the strategy and tactics employed by Ukrainian Cossacks in their struggle against Muscovy, highlighting large-scale raids across Muscovite territory, the crossing of major rivers, and the siege and assault of enemy strongholds. The book traces the course of the Tugalesko-Kolomna operation as well as the decisive battle between the tsar’s forces and the Zaporizhian Cossacks near the Donskoy Monastery. Special attention is also given to the events surrounding the assault on the Muscovite capital by the forces of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
