Communist attacks on political opponents, trade unions, cooperatives, and even the church sparked resistance, and an armed uprising broke out across the nation in 1924. It was swiftly crushed, with massacres of thousands, including hostages. Social Democratic and Labor parties across Europe reacted with shock and indignation. Soviet opponents began to describe communism as \"red fascism\" and their own movement as \"democratic socialism.\" What followed--including Socialist support for the creation of NATO--resulted from the Georgian uprising and its aftermath. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine a century later, the long-forgotten Georgian experience seems more relevant than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147669866X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476698663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland and Company, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Eric Lee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47427551691007,"sku":"9781476698663","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efcd197d-8ede-4fff-adda-22f748aa1c70.jpg?v=1761580094","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/august-uprising-1924-eric-lee-9781476698663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
