Reviews for The Abkhazians: A Handbook

'An excellent presentation to an English-speaking public of the way in which Abkhazian scholars view the past and future of their nation, and the leading role of their own nationality in the nation- and state-building policies of Abkhazia.' - Bruno Coppieters, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies
