Let Our Fame Be Great Review: Let Our Fame Be Great - This History of the Caucuses has been very well written and researched. Oliver Bullough gives a great picture of Chechnya especially during the 1990's with war against Russia. But Bullough also delves into the history of the entire region in a most readable and delightful manner. He does a very good job of explaining the many different peoples, cultures and religions. He also talks about the Diaspora and the many groups and their forced migrations under the Czars, the Soviet Union and Russia. These people are not easy to understand as knowledge of each group, religion, culture and language will go a long way to a better understanding. Bullough goes a long way of solving this mystery. It makes me glad that I found this book and was able to read because here is many groups of people that we are called after (Caucasian) and we in the West have no idea what they are like and how little in common we have with them. I recommend this book to anyone who is serious about History. Review: A riveting account of century-spanning conflict in the Caucasus - "Let Our Fame be Great" is a thoroughly researched account of the Russian invasions and occupation of its southern Caucasus mountains, a tale of numbing cruelty the scale of which staggers the imagination. This is a tale of Chauvinism, cruelty and duplicity, of imperial power without check. America's oppression of its native peoples and apartheid South Africa's mistreatment of its black millions have been abhorrent, but they pale in scope and savagery to Russia's treatment of the mountain peoples on its southern border. By and large, the Russia of today refuses to acknowledge that history, instead engaging instead in massive denial and wanton revisionism, which in turn have influenced the fashion in which the rest of the world perceives the troubled region and Russia's place in it. This historical revisionism is redolent of the denials of those who dispute the historicity of the Second World War's holocaust. Russian atrocities in Chechnya, the recent war between Russia and Georgia, the aspirations toward independence of the peoples of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and the horrors in Nagorno-Karabakh are its baleful legacy. In this work, British journalist Oliver Bullough explores the fascinating tapestry of cultures, religions and languages in the mountain fastnesses of the Caucasus where Europe, Asia, and the Mideast intersect in uneasy proximity. The author traces the histories of the Circassians, the Mountain Turks and other peoples dispossessed of their ancestral homelands and sent into exile over the last two centuries of unremitting conflict and recounts how they have fared in their exile. A well-organized, highly readable collection of archival data, personal observations and eyewitness accounts, Let Our Fame Be Great tells a compelling story of peoples who have been pushed to the limits of survival and have nonetheless fought on. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,552,526 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,715 in Travelogues & Travel Essays #32,532 in European History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (67) | | Dimensions | 6.12 x 1.35 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 11 and up | | ISBN-10 | 0465029043 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0465029044 | | Item Weight | 1.46 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 537 pages | | Publication date | August 7, 2012 | | Publisher | Basic Books | | Reading age | 13 years and up | ## Images ![Let Our Fame Be Great - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WPAh+Kl+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let Our Fame Be Great *by P***E on November 15, 2010* This History of the Caucuses has been very well written and researched.

The author has done thorough research of the 19th Century and World War experiences of this fascinating region by studying the few and often biased traveler accounts from those periods. And, the author has traveled through the region in recent decades and was on the scene during some of the important recent events. The main groups covered are the Circassians, Balkars, Chechens, and Dagestanis, plus of course Russians who have been mainly working to stamp out the other groups. The author brings the history to life through extensive interviews with people from the region, some of whom are in exile communities outside of the Caucasus. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/17015941-let-our-fame-be-great](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/17015941-let-our-fame-be-great) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
