Every single epoch of Georgia's fascinating history is rich with dramatic events, compelling narratives, and sometimes even the most controversial political figures. This book covers the short, but significant period in Georgian history from 1918 to 1921 when the first Independent Georgian Democratic Republic was born until its very demise due to the swift and brutal dismantling by Soviet Russia's Red Army. The reader will become a witness to the daily struggle of the country and its people, as they begin the long and arduous road to building and protecting an independent and free society during an extremely difficult political and economic environment.
