Descripción
Sumario:Georgia is caught in a political struggle between East and West. Per Gahrton analyses American and Russian policy towards the country and provides a firsthand account of the Rose Revolution of 2003, its origin and aftermath. Gahrton explores whether the Rose Revolution was a conspiracy or a genuine popular uprising.
The book traces growing US involvement in Georgia and the Russian reaction of anger, sanctions and, eventually, invasion. Based on interviews with key politicians, Gahrton examines the increasing opposition to authoritarian aspects of President Mikheil Saakashvili's regime and the mysterious death of Prime Minister Zhvania in 2005. --Book Jacket.
