"Rayfield's Edge of Empires is a wonderful history of Georgia,
lifting the lid on that country's torrid, rambunctious past (and
present). Impeccably researched, limpidly written, and full of
insight."--William Boyd "Guardian, "Books of the Year""
"Rayfield's panoramic Edge of Empires is an impressive work that
helps us understand why this south Caucasus nation of 6.4m people
lodged in a hostile and unstable neighborhood looks so longingly to
the West. . . . Edge of Empires is the most wide-ranging and
reliable history of Georgia one is likely to find for many years to
come."-- "Financial Times"
