Polish Winged Hussar 1, Paperback by Brzezinski, Richard; Vuksic, Velimir (ILT), ISBN 184176650X, ISBN-13 9781841766508, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This book examines the origins and development of the Polish 'Winged' Hussars. Using many years' painstaking research drawn from unpublished Polish sources, the author provides a rounded view of the training, tactics, appearance and experiences of these legendary and fascinating warriors. Most dramatic of all Hussar characteristics were the 'wings' worn on the back or on the saddle, although not all Hussars wore them, and their purpose has been fiercely debated. The Hussars terrified the Turks, Tatars, Muscovite boyars, Ukrainian Cossacks and Swedes, who did everything to avoid facing them directly in battle.

This is a Book that is a Must read to understand how Humanity Stayed alive by the Best Calavry!
It goes over history on the Best Calvary of History and is a Must known for if it was not for Hussars, Islam would have won the battle of Vienna and conquered Europe in 1683 September 11th and 12th! Thank goodness leaders didn't bend over back then, like they do not and let there internal societies get destroyed by the Islamic Destroyers who destroy cultures and traditions, and logical sense. Understand the great , and see past the hype and the reality of the Best honorable Calvary around and its origins! Must have book, makes you wonder why in school kids are not taught about this , but are touch about how it is ok that Johnny feels like becoming Jenny, which is a Liberal Mental Disordered ok thought instead of teaching real history and reasons and defenders of what is right over the wrong!! This book is a Must get!
