Description - Let Our Fame Be Great by Oliver Bullough
'With this impassioned volume Bullough has struck a blow for the glory of the Caucasus and helped to give voice to the voiceless'
Justin Marozzi, Financial Times
The Caucasus mountains are a land of jagged peaks and rugged people, who for over 200 years have rebelled against Russia's attempts to add them to its empire. Oliver Bullough's extraordinary debut tells their story for the first time. Travelling from remote village to refugee camp, rocky mountain gorge to forgotten massacre site, he discovers exiles, fighters, lost sects, defiant survivors - and an unbreakable spirit.
