''The Unknown War'' is a military history book written by Hienadz Sahanovich. It describes the events of the war between Tsardom of Russia and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1654-67. The war has become known as a part of the "Deluge", a series of military conflicts that overwhelmed the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the middle of the 17th century which included the Khmelnytsky Uprising, the Swedish invasion, and the Russian invasion among others. ==Importance== The book became one of the first in-depth researches of military actions during the Russo-Polish War (1654–67) which took place in the lands of the modern-day Belarus. The topic of armed conflicts between Russia and historical predecessors of the former Soviet Republics was largely forbidden in the times of the Soviet Union (this explains the book title). The book was released in 1995, four years after disintegration of the ex-USSR. ''The Unknown War'' focuses on war events in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, one of two integral parts of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (often generalized under the name of Poland). The dominant portion of lands that made up the Grand Duchy in the 17th century are today united in the Republic of Belarus, and hence, create a subject of historic analysis for Belarusian historians like Hienadz Sahanovich. The book describes the following historical figures among others: * Janusz Radziwill, Great Hetman of Lithuania * Boguslaw Radziwill, Governor of the Duchy of Prussia * Pawel Jan Sapieha, Great Hetman of Lithuania * Tsar Alexis of Russia * John II Casimir Vasa, King of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth * George II Rakoczi, Prince of Transylvania * Magnus De la Gardie, Swedish governor of occupied territories * Philip Abukhovich, Voivode of Smolensk * Denis Murashka, commander of Belarusian (Lithuanian) guerrillas * Wincenty Gosiewski, Field Hetman of Lithuania * Ivan Khovansky, duke and voivode in the Russian army * Alexei Trubeskoy, duke and voivode in the Russian army 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Unknown War (book)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
