Muslim Resistance to the Tsar

Why read it?
1 author picked Muslim Resistance to the Tsar as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the go-to book to understand how the Chechens, Dagestanis, and their neighbors held off the mighty Russian armies for several decades in the 1800s.
Gammer’s military history isn’t always a page-turner, but it is chock-full of clear explanations for the long success of Shamil, the warlord who defied successive Romanovs and united the fragmented peoples of the North Caucasus into a resilient resistance movement that tarnished far and wide the image of tsarist Russia as an imperial juggernaut.
From Stephen's list on how the Russian Empire engaged the Caucasus.
