Located At The Crossroads Of Western Asia And Eastern Europe, Georgia Is A Country Of Rainforests And Swamps, Snow And Glaciers, And Semiarid Plains. It Has Ski Resorts And Mineral Springs, Monuments And An Oil Pipeline. It Also Has One Of The Longest And Most Turbulent Histories In The Christian Or Near Eastern World, But No Comprehensive, Uptodate Account Has Been Written About This Littleknown Countryuntil Now. Remedying This Omission, Donald Rayfield Accesses A Mass Of New Material From Recently Opened Archives To Tell Georgias Absorbing Story.Beginning With The First Intimations Of The Existence Of Georgians In Ancient Anatolia And Ending With The Volatile Presidency Of Mikheil Saakashvili, Rayfield Deals With The Countrys Internal Politics And Swings Between Disintegration And Unity, And Divulges Georgias Complex Struggles With The Empires That Have Tried To Control, Fragment, Or Even Destroy It. He Describes The Countrys Conflicts With Xenophons Greeks, Arabs, Invading Turks, The Crusades, Genghis Khan, The Persian Empire, The Russian Empire, And Soviet Totalitarianism. A Wideranging Examination Of This Small But Colorful Country, Its Dramatic Statebuilding, And Its Tragic Political Mistakes, Edge Of Empires Draws Our Eyes To This Often Overlooked Nation.
