Ahmed Rashid, who explained Afghanistan's Taliban regime in his previous work, "Taliban", here turns his skills as an investigative journalist to the five Central Asian republics adjacent to Afghanistan. In tracing the history of Central Asia and explaining the political climate, Rashid demonstrates that it is a region we ignore at our peril.
