The book covers the period from 1989, when tensions in South Ossetia began to boil over as Gorbachev relaxed the iron fist of Soviet control, and continues through August 2008, when the situation degraded into open warfare.
"Countdown to War in Georgia" includes articles from the most widely read newspapers, foreign policy and security publications in the Russian Federation today. All articles have been carefully translated from the original Russian and presented without commentary to render an accurate picture of Russian views and policy in the Caucasus.
