". . . the best study in English to date for an understanding of Georgian nationalism." —Religious Studies Review ". . . the standard account of Georgian history in English." —American Historical Review ". . . tour de force research . . . fascinating reading." —American Political Science Review Like the other republics floating free after the demise of the Soviet empire, the independent republic of Georgia is reinventing its past, recovering what had been forgotten or distorted during the long years of Russian and Soviet rule. Whether Georgia can successfully be transformed from a society rent by conflict into a pluralistic democratic nation will depend on Georgians rethinking their history. This is the first comprehensive treatment of Georgian history, from the ethnogenesis of the Georgians in the first millennium B.C., through the period of Russian and Soviet rule in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, to the emergence of an independent republic in 1991, the ethnic and civil warfare that has ensued, and perspectives for Georgia's future.
With the loss of his one true love, Allen Roarke prayed a daily prayer, Will I ever have another love like my Lindsey? Like many men with loss, Allen turned to his work, putting long stressful hours in to keep his mind busy. To many it seemed a man wishing to forget the past, while to others it seemed a death wish. Health issues concerns and the demands of his doctor and friend ordered Allen to take a long much-needed vacation. Of course, Allen could think of only one place, the Wild Flower Inn, owned by his best friends Gregory and Renee. Little did he know that his life was about to change his daily prayer to be answered. Who would possibly think that a touch of hands and looking deep into someones eyes would change their lives forever? Allen, have you ever heard of love at first sight? Erin, the woman he had just met, said as she lowered her head. afraid of his answer. He gently placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head until their eyes met. Yes. It happened to me twice in my life, Allen answered in a raspy voice. Once when I was fifteen and just a few minutes ago. This is the story of their adventure. Enjoy.

Georgian literary sources for Late Antiquity are commonly held to be later productions devoid of historical value. As a result, scholarship outside the Republic of Georgia has privileged Graeco-Roman and even Armenian narratives.

The movement of millions of ordinary people westward across the American continent was one of the great folk migrations of all time, stretching over two centuries and thousands of hard-traveled miles. Using a canvas as broad as the country itself, Gerald McFarland turns this journey into a resonant personal experience by retelling the stories of five generations of a single, real family—who are, in fact, his own pioneer ancestors.
