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.The book traces the increasing US involvement in Georgia and the Russian reaction of anger, sanctions and, eventually, invasion. Gahrton's analysis is based on interviews with key politicians and his experience as the rapporteur of the European Parliament on South Caucasus. At centre stage is the growing opposition against authoritarian aspects of President Mikheil Saakashvili's regime and the mysterious death of Prime Minister Zhvania in 2005. The book also asks if the Rose Revolution was a conspiracy or a genuine popular uprising. This truly authoritative account of Georgia is a must for students studying international relations in the aftermath of The Cold War. 606 $aSouth Ossetia War, 2008 607 $aGeorgia (Republic)$xStrategic aspects 607 $aGeorgia (Republic)$xForeign relations$y1991- 607 $aGeorgia (Republic)$xPolitics and government$y1991- 607 $aGeorgia (Republic)$xHistory$yRose Revolution, 2003 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSouth Ossetia War, 2008. 676 $a947.58086 700 $aGahrton$b Per$0903582 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456731603321 996 $aGeorgia$92019879 997 $aUNINA
