More about the book
Focusing on the historical evolution of the Caucasus, this volume spans from the Seljuk domination around 1050 CE to contemporary times. It highlights the Kingdom of Georgia's cultural peak in the 12th and 13th centuries, followed by Mongol invasions that fragmented the region into smaller entities. An Armenian kingdom in Cilicia navigated a delicate diplomatic balance among major powers, while the subsequent centuries saw the North and South Caucasus become pawns of the Ottomans, Iran, and Russia, reflecting the complex interplay of regional politics.
