Review
"Brill Olcott's volume provides a timely and valuable study of political and economic developments in the Central Asian states from the advent of independence in 1991 through to mid-2005. A leading US expert on the region, Brill Olcott brings a wealth of expertise and detail to her analysis, which is nonetheless accessible to the general reader." --Annette Bohr, Chatham House, "International Affairs", 3/1/2006 "Olcott has established herself as one of the leading US experts on Central Asia " -- "Journal of Peace Research" "Dr. Martha Brill Olcott is one of America's leading experts on Central Asia, and her publications have done much to stimulate and engender American academic and policy interest in the field, especially after the Central Asian states became independent in 1991. She brings to this book years of firsthand experience, research, and travel throughout the area." --Stephen J. Blank, US Army War College, "Parameters", 9/1/2006
