Book summary

In this combination history and travelogue, the author of the bestselling BALKAN GHOSTS chronicles his journey through Eastern Europe and Central Asia--including Turkey, Jordan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan. He shares his powers of observation, his wide knowledge of history, and the rather gloomy perspective for which he is known. Each stop is an occasion for him to reflect on both the past and on what he foresees as this region's role in the coming demise of the West. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.
