A History of North Ossetia–Alania

Book Details
About this book:

A History of North Ossetia–Alania Discover North Ossetia–Alania, a small republic with an outsized place in Eurasian history. From the ancient Scythians, Sarmatians, and Alans to the mountain passes of the Silk Road, this book brings to life a land where steppe and valley, Christianity and Islam, local custom and imperial power have met for centuries.

Across twenty-five vivid chapters, follow the rise and fall of Alania, the shock of the Mongol invasions, the survival of Ossetian society in the high Caucasus, and the region’s transformation under Russian, Soviet, and post-Soviet rule. Here is a history of trade routes, sacred landscapes, fortified villages, revolution, war, and enduring identity.

For readers drawn to the Caucasus, Russia, Central Eurasia, or forgotten crossroads of world history, *A History of North Ossetia–Alania* offers a compelling journey through one of the region’s most fascinating and overlooked homelands.
