Twenty-Five Years in the Caucasus, 1842-67, issued in 2018, is the first and only translation of Arnold Zisserman's uniquely perceptive and rewarding Russian text, enhanced by an Introduction, maps, numerous period illustrations, appendixes and notes, ensuring that the reader can fully appreciate the far-ranging author's travels, adventures, achievements and insights. At age 17 Arnold Zisserman left Russia for Georgia, and embarked on a career of unrivaled interest and achievement. From a humble clerkship in a government department, he rose rapidly, becoming assistant administrator of a Georgian province, police chief of a war-torn region of Dagestan, confidant of the Viceroy and finally a field officer in the army fighting the Muslim rebels. His memoirs form a rich and unique historical, cultural and ethnographic account of an exotic region during an exciting period.
