    Good Account of a Long-Denied Crime
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2015*

Excellent book arguing the case for calling Russia's treatment of the Circassians a genocide. Reads well and has enough fascinating characters for a novel, although I wish I had seen and gotten to know a few of the Circassians involved. It's a lot easier to sympathize with the victims if you know them a little, and most of what we're shown is from the Russian perspective.I think a few maps would have helped too--showing the original country of Circassia, the placement of the tribes, and possibly some of the routes taken during the multiple forced marches out of the mountains to Sochi.As an American I blush to think of the Cherokee "trail of tears," the Wounded Knee debacle, the Nez Perce flight and fight. These were wrong, bad, awful things to do, and there's no justification for it. But at least as a nation we have more or less acknowledged the mistakes that were made, the bad choices, the people who were involved. There won't be justice to the Native Americans; there can't be without mass deportation of every non-Indian. But at least recognition has been accomplished. To this day, Russia denies its part in what happened to the Circassians, blaming them for the crime of living on land the Russians wanted, and telling the lie that the Circassians were offered viable alternatives which they turned down. Richmond shows exactly how "viable" the alternative offerings were and how even the few Circassians who accepted the alternative were later expelled anyway.A good book. I hope Richmond can find some descendants of survivors to add the Adige perspective, and add a few maps, for a subsequent edition.

    Great book, gives lots of details about the issue
  

*by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2013*

That's one of the greatest books written about this topic and gives lots of details. Also, very wide range of reliable references were used. I suggest this book to people who are interested in this topic or want to learn something about an "unknown" issue.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Shocking
  

*by B***O on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2015*

As you would expect from the title, this is one of those books where the reader is supposed to be shocked by the wickedness of someone or other.  If you read enough history you get used to such things. The text is full of words like ‘pathetic state’, ‘pawns’, ’absurdist play’, ‘war crimes’, ’sham’, ‘absurd neologism’, ‘systematic xenophobia’, ’shocking outrages’, ‘cruel joke’, ‘frantic speed’, ‘chicanery’, ‘charade’ and so on.  Beyond some point such language is self-refuting.  This book adds little to his previous book on the Northwest Caucasus, which has more information. The general point is this.  Over the last two hundred years, from Estonia south to Greece, and across the north of the old Ottoman Empire and the south of the Russian Empire, there has been a tendency for peoples to sort themselves out into ethnic blocks, often along political borders. This was sometimes very bloody and sometimes voluntary.  If the editors of this series of this series of genocide and political violence studies were to commission a comparative history of this process of resettlement they would make a useful contribution to scholarship.
