MIRACULOUS VICTORY

Battle Of Didgori And Liberation Of Tbilisi

Nearly 900 years ago, in 1121 the “Miraculous Victory” was achieved by Georgian army at Didgori, the immediate outcomes of which were not only regaining Tbilisi as the capital city and crowning a century-and-a-half struggle of the country for the unification of the Georgian state, but also promoting the unprecedented expansion of Georgia’s political influence.

Shota Meskhia’s book offers a full study of the military and political aspects of the renowned event at Didgori. It also points to the greatness of the historical victory and the leadership of David the Builder’s Georgia in the Caucasus and the Near East.

More than forty years have elapsed since Sh. Meskhia’s book was first published (1972) but its cardinal scientific importance is still at its heights, attracting the interest of academic researchers as well as of the wide range of readers interested in the history of Georgia.
