The Sabres of Paradise : Conquest and Vengeance in the Caucasus, Revised Edition

Editorial Reviews
Review
"I can imagine no better introduction to modern Russia."--New York Times Book Review

"A masterly account of Chechnya's struggle against 19th-century Tsarist Russia, ominously relevant to today's conflict. [Blanch's] portrait of Shamyl, the Chechen leader-prophet, was widely admired and Blanch is still consulted by historians."--The Sunday Times (London)

"This reissue ... is to be warmly applauded. The result of four years of research and local travel, this is a uniquely original and fresh introduction to a forgotten world and in particular to that of the most important colonial war of the 19th Century."--Lawrence Kelly
