The Turks of Central Asia

The Turks of Central Asia

Editorial Reviews
Review
“. . .a significant resource for background on this less well known area.”–Choice
“The power of this one-volume authoritative source comes not only from its all-inclusive range that covers all Turkish ethnic groups but also from its analysis of the various intellectual paradigms that shaped the Turkic world in the last one hundred years. The chapter on ``Pan Turkism,'' for example, should be consulted by all those who want a crash course in this often misunderstood ideology. If there's one book you'd like to buy and read these days to know the Turkic world better, this is it.”–The Turkish Times

Book Description
This book is a pioneering study which presents carefully researched data on the some 55 milion Turkish-speaking peoples of the former Soviet Union and Central Asia. The historical background of and the recent developments in Central Asia and the Trans-Caucasus are presented in detail. Hostler's conclusions emphasize the present instability and the potential strategic and economic importance of Central Asia as well as the competing roles of Turkey, Iran, Russia, and other countries.
