For the first time, this major new survey of the Caucasus traces a
unified narrative history of this complex and turbulent region at
the borderlands of Europe, Asia and the Middle East, from
prehistory to the present. For thousands of years the Caucasus has
formed the intersection of routes of migration, invasion, trade and
culture, and a geographical bridge between Europe and Asia, subject
to recurring imperial invasion. Drawing on sources in English,
Russian, Persian and Arabic, amongst others, this authoritative
study centres on the region's many indigenous peoples, including
Abkhazians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Chechens and Circassians, and
their relations with outsiders who still play an important part in
the life of the region today. The book presents a critical view of
the historical role of Russian imperialism in events in the
Caucasian countries, and the violent struggle of some of these
peoples in their efforts to establish a precarious independence.
