Caucasian Battlefields: A History of the Wars on the Turco-Caucasian Border 1828–1921

Allen and Muratoff's classic military history of the wars on the Turco-Caucasian border, 1828–1921.

Published by Cambridge University Press in 1953, this work by W. E. D. Allen and Paul Muratoff is a comprehensive military history of the wars fought along the Turco-Caucasian frontier between 1828 and 1921. It treats the Russo-Ottoman fronts in detail, including operations in the Caucasus during and after the First World War. For this collection it serves as a foundational reference for the broader regional and military context in which the 1918 Army of Islam campaign unfolded.
