“Political and diplomatic issues required military intervention of varied types, hence the need for and deployment of these many forces. Ultimately, the militia would become the predominant force in Georgia, and the author shows how that came to be. Definitely an original contribution to the literature. No one has undertaken such a study before or in such depth.”
