Description
Vitéz Andris Kursietis has been a researcher of military history for over fifty years, using resources that span the globe. His latest book, “Slava Ukraini!”, contains the military biographies of almost 280 generals and admirals who served Ukraine during the four-and-a-half years of its struggle for existence, between 1917-1921, with an appendix that includes senior officers serving in the Ukrainian National Army in 1945, and those officers promoted by the Ukrainian government in exile.
For his previous work on the Hungarian military, the Hungarian Knightly Order of Vitéz in 1997 awarded Kursietis its Cross of Merit. He is also the recipient of the Silver Medal of Merit from the World Federation of Hungarian Veterans, as well as the Gold, Silver and Bronze Service Crosses, the 2014-2018 Cross and the Badge of Honor from the International Hungarian Military History Preservation Society. In September 2022 Kursietis was knighted in the Hungarian Knightly Order of Vitéz.
Outside of his researching and writing, Kursietis serves as the Chairman, President and CEO of the Latvian Welfare Association in the USA (Daugavas Vanagi ASV).
