Ahmed Rashid writes concisely,
keeping up a rapid pace starting
with the historical background of
the region, looking in turn at its
five republics - Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan,
Turkmenistan, Kyrgystan and Tajikistan
- and finally at their common interests
and rivalries ... Rashid's book
is eminently dispassionate and unideological.
