A fascinating new survey of the Caucasus which provides 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 a hub
of intersecting 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
and translations from Persian and Arabic, this authoritative study
centres on the region's indigenous peoples, including Abkhazians,
Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Chechens, Daghestanis, Circassians, and
Georgians, and their relations with outsiders who still play a part
in the life of the region today. The book presents a critical view
of the role of Russian imperialism in the Caucasian countries and
the desperate struggle of most of its native peoples in their
efforts to establish a precarious independence.
