The Conquest of the Caucasus by the Russians. 1720-1860

The Conquest of the Caucasus by the Russians. 1720-1860

The Caucasus can be compared to a powerful fortress, protected by nature itself, which is why the struggle of the Russians to seize it stretched over many decades. This book presents a chronicle of the conquest of the Caucasus from... the emergence of the first expeditions in the late 17th century to the unfolding of a full-scale war. Unlike the multi-volume work of General Potto, Buddeli was able to expand the narrative in a single edition, covering the period of the Caucasian War and beyond the 1830s, describing the confrontation between the Russian army and the murids of Imam Shamil.
A wonderful connoisseur of the traditions and way of life of the mountaineers, the author provides many fascinating facts, rare testimonies, and military statistics.
