Thank's - I had forgotten he had visited Ani! :)

 

If there were awards given for the most eye-catching title for a travel book about Armenia, them "Fire and Sword in the Caucasus" would win it! Though Baldwin's "Six Prisons and Two Revolutions" or Reitlinger's "A Tower of Sculls" come close seconds.
