The Hundred. The Forgotten Campaign. Series 1

A Cossack’s life—full of dangers and hardships—turned out exactly that way for Matvey. State interests don’t always match the well-being of his people, especially those who serve him. Service demanded that he leave everything behind and go where the empire’s interests were paramount. This campaign proved more difficult than expected, because the route ran through the barren hills of the Middle East, where every European was viewed by local residents as an enemy.
