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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Hamburg, Thomas Sanders, Ernest Tucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415478790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415478793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.60d","brand":"Gary Hamburg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190550720767,"sku":"9780415478793","price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20cf24a7-57df-41db-b96f-9905c71ecd66.jpg?v=1690871144","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/russian-muslim-confrontation-in-the-caucasus-gary-hamburg-9780415478793","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
