"Ghost of Freedom: A History of the Caucasus"

By
This is the first book I downloaded for my Kindle.  I've only read the first chapter but would highly recommend it to anyone interested in that part of the world.  I really like how the author weaves narrative of his own experiences in the region with historical events.  I could even see reflections of some of my own experiences with the Georgian people in his writing.  Can't wait to read the rest of it!

    Oh, I do love it. Like e-mail made me write more consistently, this is encouraging me to read more. You should really get the book, I'm about half-way through now and have learned so much. It made me love Georgia even more.

    Any travel dates yet? Take care.
