The Caucasus region, which forms a natural boundary between Asia
and Europe, has always been of great strategic importance. Russia's
expansion into the region in the late eighteenth century brought
conflict with the Ottoman Empire, creating a new area of contention
between these two states, and the borderlands remained in a state
of intermittent conflict until the end of the First World War. This
volume, first published in 1953, discusses the four major conflicts
which took place in the region during the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. Focusing on military strategy, the book
describes in great detail battles, skirmishes and logistical
problems of warfare in a mountainous and remote region. Illustrated
with thirty-nine maps, it provides a wealth of information for
military historians and remains an authoritative account.
