Caucasus: A Journey to the Land Between Christianity and Islam
by Nicholas Griffin

The rugged land between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus is the front line of a fascinating and formidable clash of cultures: Russia on one side, the predominantly Muslim mountains on the other. Here, award-winning author Nicholas Griffin recounts his journey to the Caucasus to explore the roots of today's conflict, centering his account on Imam Shamil, the greatest Muslim warrior of the nineteenth century who remains virtually unknown in the West.

"Griffin wonderfully weaves historical facts and compelling characters in this adventure through the Caucasus region. "
--Publishers Weekly

"Griffin is a fine writer with a sharp sense of both humor and irony. This memoir of his journey is filled with revealing episodes that are often amusing and sometimes frightening. This work is part history, part travelogue, and part lament for people who cherish their past but remain imprisoned by it. "
--Booklist
