As revolution swept over Russia and empires collapsed in the final
days of World War I, Azerbaijan and neighbouring Georgia and
Armenia proclaimed their independence in May 1918. During the
ensuing two years of struggle for independence, military endgames,
and treaty negotiations, the diplomatic representatives of
Azerbaijan struggled to gain international recognition and
favourable resolution of the territorial sovereignty of the
country. This brief but eventful episode came to an end when the
Red Army entered Baku in late April 1920. Drawing on archival
documents from Azerbaijan, Turkey, Russia, United States, France,
and Great Britain, the accomplished historian, Jamil Hasanli, has
produced a comprehensive and meticulously documented account of
this little-known period. He narrates the tumultuous path of the
short-lived Azerbaijani state toward winning international
recognition and reconstructs a vivid image of the Azeri political
elite's quest for nationhood after the collapse of the Russian
colonial system, with a particular focus on the liberation of Baku
from Bolshevik factions, relations with regional neighbours, and
the arduous road to recognition of Azerbaijan's independence by the
Paris Peace Conference. Providing a valuable insight into the past
of the South Caucasus region and the dynamics of the post-World War
I era, this book will be an essential addition to scholars and
students of Central Asian Studies and the Caucasus, History,
Foreign Policy and Political Studies.
