I read the book by Nicholas Griffin a while ago (both titles are the same book, though the subtitles are different). As far as I can remember it was an entertaining read, though I don't remember exactly and I don't have the book here in Yerevan to check back or flip through it again (I have the book back in Holland, might have to take it with me for a reread next time I'm there).

Actually, I have read some other books mentioned there as well. I liked Yo'av Karny's book, very informative and lots of information about the smaller peoples living in the Caucasus.
"Ali and Nino" is a nice book, I recommend it to people wanting to get a feel for the region. It's one of those books I reread every now and then on a rainy Sunday.
Finally, Wendell Steavenson's book on Georgia didn't do much to me. It was too much "getting drunk on whisky with the other expats while musing on this weird country we find ourselves in". The book had its moments, but in general it didn't raise above the whisky-with-the-pals level.
(In case you are wondering by now: yes, I am a book fanatic and read about every book about the Caucasus region I can get my hands on ;-) ).
