Embers of the Lost Homeland: The Truth Behind Georgia’s Betrayed Legacy
A thoroughly investigated historical and political drama, drawing on extensive archival resources, historical reconstruction, and political analysis. It uncovers previously unrecognized, overlooked, or deliberately concealed facts in the complex relationship between the West and Moscow, exposing the dynamics of superpower diplomacy, ideological bargains, geopolitical maneuvers, orchestrated repressions, ethnic cleansing, clandestine networking, espionage, and the moral erosion of rent-seeking fifth columns that collectively shaped Georgia’s tragic destiny and ultimately relegated its territorial claims to the margins of realpolitik.
The book contextualizes Georgia’s narrative within a sweeping historical framework, encompassing its brief independence (1918–1921); the subsequent Bolshevik terror and Stalinist purges of the 1920s–30s; the Kremlin’s covert entanglements with the Georgian government-in-exile; shifting geopolitical dynamics before and after World War II; Cold War diplomacy and evolving U.S. foreign policy toward the Soviet Union, shaped by Containment, Détente, and Rollback; Kremlin-orchestrated political upheavals during the post-Soviet transition; and the present-day authoritarian resurgence exemplified by Moscow-backed proxy regimes.
