Synopsis

An examination of the “historical impact of the Western encounter with Central Asia’s fragile and volatile nations. Blending scholarship with reportage, Meyer provides fascinating detail about regions and peoples now of urgent concern to America: the five Central Asian republics, the Caspian and the Caucasus, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and long-dominant Russia.”
