Description
This compilation on the new Eurasian states of the former Soviet Union introduces the little-known, yet strategic heartland of the world. Some of the information included has not been published before. The material has been put together in such a way as to make inter-relationships of culture, history, diplomacy, economics and defence clear and understandable. The book aims to reveal the new Eurasia with which the world must live for the foreseeable future.
Reviews
"An important corrective for those who think that Russia is the former Soviet Union and that the former Soviet Union was Russia. . . . The future of Russia depends, to a very large extent, on what happens in the former non-Russian Soviet republics. Twining's volume provides the needed insights and knowledge."-Zbigniew Brzezinski
This one-of-a-kind compilation is both timely and well-researched and gives the reader his first good introduction to the little-known, yet strategic heartland of the world. It is excellent for those interested in the former Soviet Union and successor states. Highly recommended for those interested in civil strife and ethnic tension backgrounds in the Commonwealth of Independent States.-The Friday Review of Defense Literature
