Restless valley : revolution, murder, and intrigue in the heart of Central Asia
Shishkin, Philip, 1977-2013
Books, Manuscripts
It sounds like the stuff of a fiction thriller: two revolutions, a massacre of unarmed civilians, a civil war, a drug-smuggling highway, brazen corruption schemes, contract hits, and larger-than-life characters who may be villains, or heroes, or possibly both. Yet this book is not a work of fiction. It is instead a gripping, first-hand account of Central Asia's unfolding history from 2005 to the present.
