The Russian Conquest of the Caucasus
by John Frederick Baddeley
J F Baddeley knew the Caucasus as well as any foreigner and wrote a great deal about his experiences there. The book is based almost entirely on Russian sources and accounts of events, since indigenous Caucasian languages were not written down until the 20th century. It’s a monumental piece of military history.
