Fearless: A Fascinating Story of Secret Medieval Spies

by Besik Aladashvili (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
“Mstovari” - an old Georgian word for a “spy” or a “reconnaissance man”, infrequently used even in modern Georgian. Amidst the breathtakingly picturesque, but war-worn and blood-soaked mountains of Caucasus, these ancient spy-warriors practiced espionage in a way that was unique at the time and may teach us a lot about modern tactics of surveillance. These indomitable soldiers, employing novel and innovative methods and techniques, arguably revolutionized the espionage already back in the middle-ages, only to be forgotten in the whirlwind of history.

Centuries passed, before the fascinating tales of mstovari were finally uncovered, revealing to the world warriors dedicated to covert operations, subterfuge and clairvoyance.This is a book telling their story.

The volume, originally published in Georgian as “History of Espionage in Georgia”, is merely the first part of planned books on the subject matter at hand. It focuses primarily on the “Georgian Golden Age”- the reign of the King David IV “the Builder”(1073-1125) and his great granddaughter, the magnificent Queen Tamar (c. 1160-1210). The era can be aptly characterized as the “The Golden Age of Georgian Espionage” and “The Golden Age of Georgian Kingdom” as well.
