This accessible introduction to Inner Asia traces its history from the arrival of Islam; through the various dynasties to the Russian conquest. The contemporary focus rests on the seven countries that make up present-day Eurasia: Uzbekistan; Kazakhstan; Kyrgyzstan; Tajikistan; Turkmenistan; Sinkiang and Mongolia. Since the fall of the Soviet Union; renewed interest in these countries has prompted considerable debate. While a divergent literature has evolved; no comprehensive survey of the region exists. This book will fill the gap and become indispensable for anyone studying or visiting the area.
