The Caucasus a region of supreme natural beauty
and fiercely proud warriors--has throughout history been characterized
by violence and turmoil. During the Great Caucasus War of 1834-1859, the
warring mountain tribes of Daghestan and Chechnya united under the
charismatic leadership of the Muslim chieftain Imam Shamyl, the "Lion of
Daghestan", and held at bay the invading Russian army for nearly 25
years. Lesley Blanch vividly recounts the epic story of their heroic and
bloody struggle for freedom and the life of a man still legendary in
the Caucasus.
