The Guns of August 2008: Russia’s War in Georgia (Studies of Central Asia and the Caucasus) 1st Edition
" This is a very well researched and documented study. The arguments advanced in the book are supported by factual evidence which is mostly unknown to western media."
MichinioAmazon Reviews
"A good and authoritaive all round analysis of Russo-Georgian relations, the background to the 2008 war, the conflict itself and its aftermath. It helpfully comprises chapters from a selection of quotable contributors.I read it after I had already completed my own in-depth analysis for a MA dissertation and found it reliable on the bits I was familiar with, but I also learned plenty of new points as well."
