Klappentext

In 1918, the nation of Georgia declared independence from a defunct Russian Empire. Georgian leaders then set about drafting the world's first social-democratic constitution. Stephen F. Jones tells this forgotten story. As one of the most advanced democratic states to emerge after the end of WW1, it can only inspire social democrats today.
