It is 1942, and the Russian defences have held… for now.
In his lair Hitler grows ever greedier for the black gold, the Caucasian oil fields he needs to fuel the Nazi war machine.
Some of his generals fear the cost of acquiring it will outweigh the gains, but the Führer has acquired a secret weapon, one as old as the accursed Northern wastelands.
Its target: the Tartar Redoubt, a position recently occupied by a battalion of glory-seeking Russian Guardsmen.
Unleashing the Cossacks, as horrific and bloodcurdling as the hounds of hell, it seems inevitable that the lines will break… but for the fact Punishment Battalion 333 is also there.
Beaten, broken, bloodied and battered, these traitors, reactionaries, pimps, murderers, whoremasters, black marketeers, perverts and fifth columnists are the last line of defence.
Once more it is the worst scum in the whole of Russia, her hated heroes, the Gulag Rats who must endeavour to save her, except this time the enemy is their own kind.
Even the devil himself won’t be able to save them…
Cossack Attack is a gripping World War Two thriller from master of the genre Charles Whiting. It was originally published under the pen name K. N. Kostov.
‘Whiting… is a skilled and prolific writer. His comments on the generals are apt… An important book that records one of the most difficult yet least publicised phases of the war’ - Spectator
‘Whiting is a very experienced popular military historian who gets the last ounce of drama from the bloody battles in the West between September 1944 and February 1945’ - The Times
With nearly 300 books under his belt, Charles Whiting was one of the most prolific writers of his time. His best-known books were published under the name Leo Kessler and featured the Assault Regiment Wotan, Hitler’s hand-picked SS battle group. They include The Valley of the Assassins, Schirmer’s Headhunters, Cauldron of Blood and Guns at Cassino. As K. N. Kostov he wrote the Punishment Battalion 333 series, including Baptism of Blood, The Gulag Rats and Cossack Attack.
