Default Are there any good English language books on Caucasian arms and armor?

I’m new to this specific area of collecting, so I’m wondering if there are any good English language works or resources so I can learn more about Caucasian edged weapons

I would recommend Kirill Rivkin's Arms and Armor of Caucasus, although I cannot comment on the factual accuracy of the text as I have no expertise on that subject.

My friend from Russia sent me book Chechen Arms. Author Isa Askhabov.
The book is in two languages: Russian and English.

Also a great book:
Yuri Miller, Caucasian Arms from the State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, Danish/English

All of these books recommended are excellent!
Kirill Rivkin's book is a MUST! and while I am certainly not any expert on this topic, I have collected and researched in degree, and others I know in this field who are, endorse it highly.

I also recommend Rivkin's book, as it encompasses the entire region and all the various weapons types.

Unfortunately, the good books on the subject are in a language incomprehensible to English speakers . This is why they offer you Rivkin's book (not that there is another). Of course, it can serve as a general idea on the topic
