Between Poland and the Ukraine - The Dilemma of Adam Kysil, 1600-1653

Frank Sysyn examines the failure of Polish policy through the career of Adam Kysil. Based on extensive archival research in Poland and the USSR, Sysyn's study is a contribution not only to scholarship on Eastern Europe, but also to discussions on the preconditions and nature of early modern revolts and on the change of political and social elites.
