Customer Rating:      Summary: An excellent, in-depth introduction to Georgia Comment: I have read this book before leaving for a long trip to Georgia, and it has given me an incredible insight into the country, the people, and its troubled history from 1990-98.It is very pleasing to read as such, wether you are planning to go to Georgia or not. Despite it not being a travel guide, it helped me a lot to get a feeling for the very special Georgian atmosphere, and to know how to live and "behave" in Georgia. The author, a journalist who has worked there in the past decade, writes almost all of his text from first-hand experience, and gives a very good idea of the diversity found in the different regions of Georgia. If you read this book, you will want to go there!
