Armies of the Caucasus
TonyCas562
I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this, but having recently posted a suggestion for the Russian Conquest of Siberia, it is also worthy to suggest a title or series on the fighting forces of the Caucasus nations.
The Cherkessians, Tatars, Chechens, Kalmyks, Ossetians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Ural/Kuban Cossacks, and especially the Georgians (and maybe the former peoples of Trebizond?), at one time or another, have clashed swords with one another or the Russians, and their uniforms are FANTASTIC!
Thanks, everyone!

Great suggestions!! I hope there are many others like us who are fascinated by these armies. Some of the above nations maintained colourful uniforms up until the modern age. I would add to the above list the following: The Murid Wars, Crimean Khanate armies, Nagorno-Karabakh War and other Post Soviet Wars.

Excellent suggestions! Especially the Tatars and the Georgians! I would definitely buy all of the suggested books!
