'Ohannes Geukjian expertly analyzes the history and development of the conflict, presenting both the Armenian and Azerbaijani perspectives, and highlighting the Gorbachev era as the major factor precipitating open warfare between the two national groups.' Robert O. Freedman, Johns Hopkins University, USA 'Geukjian highlights the complexity and historical nature of the relationship between Armenia and Azerbaijan. By examining the various actors, from Russia, Persia, Turkey and Europe, Geukjian explores how this relationship has been pushed and pulled, with a particular emphasis on the Soviet nationalities policy. The genealogy provides an extended view of the region economically, politically and geographically like a time-lapse film that conveys continual change, emphasising that neither party is completely innocent. The book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the South Caucasus region, and for scholars working on ethnicity and nationalism.' Europe-Asia Studies 'For those who do not know the story of this conflict, the book serves as a useful primer.' Slavic Review 'The book is well written and I recommend it to anyone who is interested not only in the history of Nagorno-Karabakh, but also in how ethnicity and nationalism shape conflict.' Political Studies Review
