This book delves into a past that remains alive in the minds of the peoples of these regions, a past that is crucial to understanding current events. It examines the formative period of the first half of the ninetheenth century, during which the Chechens and Daghestanis joined forces under the banner of Islam and shari'a to resist Russian attempts to conquer them, an all too familiar scenario in light of recent events.
