  The Caucasus is one of the most complicated regions in the world, with many different peoples and political units, differing religious allegiances, and frequent conflicts, a place where historically major world powers have often clashed with each other. This book presents a comprehensive introduction to this complicated region. It covers the geography and the historical development of the region, economics, politics and government, population, religion and society, culture and traditions, and conflicts and international relations. It is written throughout in an accessible style and requires no prior knowledge.
