'The First Toast is to Peace: Travels in the South Caucasus' brings
alive a captivating part of the globe that the English-speaking
world has been slow to appreciate. Stephen Powell, a British
journalist, travelled through remote fastnesses in Georgia,
Azerbaijan and Armenia, and lost his heart to the Caucasus. The
rugged beauty of the mountains, higher than the Alps, a strong
sense of history and enduring traditions of hospitality give the
region a flavour all of its own. Change came slowly to the Caucasus
and in one part of Georgia the men wore chainmail armour until the
1930s. 'The First Toast is to Peace' leads the reader through these
complex lands with first-hand accounts of distant trails, forays
into history and conversations with local people about their hopes
for the future. The narrative provides answers to questions great
and small. How is Stalin regarded today in his native Georgia? How
do you reach Khevsureti by horse? What is life like in Europe's
forgotten war zone, Nagorno-Karabakh?
