Title: The Dust of Empire
Description: PublicAffairs, 2003. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 252. In 'The Dust of Empire', Karl E. Meyer examines the present and past of the Asian heartland in a book that blends scholarship with reportage, providing fascinating detail about regions and peoples now of urgent concern to America - the five Central Asian republics, the Caspian and the Caucasus, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and long-dominant Russia. He provides the context for America's war on terrorism, for Washington's search for friends and allies in an Islamic world rife with extremism, and for the new politics of pipelines and human rights in an area richer in the former than the latter. He offers a rich and complicated tapestry of a region where empires have so often come to grief - a cautionary tale. ISBN: 9781586480486. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
