Coming soon!
My latest book -- and the third in my "Georgian trilogy" -- is entitled THE AUGUST UPRISING 1924: GEORGIA AND THE BIRTH OF DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM.
It will be published in September 1924 by Ziari Press in Georgia (in Georgian translation). I intend to be in Georgia in October to launch the book there.
We are hoping that an English edition will come out later this year as well. If you are a publisher interested in publishing the book in additional languages, please do get in touch.
