A scholarly work of historical non-fiction, A Modern History of Georgia chronicles the turbulent and complex story of the Caucasian nation of Georgia from the early modern period through the twentieth century. David Marshall Lang, a distinguished authority on Georgian and Caucasian studies, presents a richly detailed account of Georgia's struggles for sovereignty, its absorption into the Russian Empire, and the dramatic upheavals of the Soviet era. With academic precision and narrative clarity, the work illuminates the cultural, political, and religious forces that shaped a proud and ancient civilization navigating the pressures of imperial powers. Lang draws on a wealth of primary and secondary sources to illustrate how Georgia's unique identity — rooted in its language, Orthodox Christian heritage, and literary tradition — persisted through centuries of foreign domination. An authoritative and indispensable reference, it remains essential reading for anyone seeking a rigorous understanding of Georgian history and the broader dynamics of the Caucasus region.
