A thorough examination of the various conflicts in the Caucasus (Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Chechnya, and the rest of the North Caucasus). Cornell goes over the historic backgrounds of each conflict, its current (as of 2001) status, and the role of the major regional powers in the conflicts (Russia, Turkey, Iran, the US). Of course it is somewhat dated now, though the historic background is still of considerable use, as is the stance that the regional powers may have had, if only to provide a background to their current views on the region.
