| | Amazon.fr : The Wars of Eduard Shevardnadze : Livres en anglais (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | In the authors' view, Shevardnadze, long the head of the Georgian Communist Party before being appointed Foreign Minister, is a pragmatist at his core; this characterization appears more convincing in light of his conciliatory actions vis-a-vis Russia since he assumed the Georgian presidency in 1992. |
 | | Shevardnadze is a survivor of many bruising conflicts. |
 | | In the Communist Party of his native Georgia, then as Soviet foreign minister under Gorbachev, and now as the embattled president of his small, independent republic, he has shown himself ruthless, authoritarian, uncorrupt, politically adroit, and principled. |
