The authors offer a complete commentary on the various intellectual and religious contexts that shaped the two texts and explain the historical significance of the Russian-Muslim confrontation. It is shown that the mountain war was a clash of two cultures, two religious outlooks and two different worlds. The book provides an important background for the ongoing contest between Russia and indigenous people for control of the Caucasus.SOAS/RoutledgeCurzon studies on the Middle East.HISTORY / Middle East / GeneralbisacshHISTORY / Europe / Russia & the Former Soviet UnionbisacshHISTORYEthnic relationsDagestan (Russia)History19th centuryDagestan (Russia)Ethnic relationsElectronic books.HISTORY / Middle East / General.HISTORY / Europe / Russia & the Former Soviet Union.HISTORY.Ethnic relations.947.5/073/088297Hamburg Gary917329Sanders ThomasTucker ErnestFlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910450681403321Russian-Muslim Confrontation in the Caucasus2056672UNINA
