Synopsis
In this combination history and travelogue, the author of the bestselling BALKAN GHOSTS chronicles his journey through Eastern Europe and Central Asia--including Turkey, Jordan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan. He shares his powers of observation, his wide knowledge of history, and the rather gloomy perspective for which he is known. Each stop is an occasion for him to reflect on both the past and on what he foresees as this region's role in the coming demise of the West. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.

Publisher's Note
Eastward to Tartary, Robert Kaplan's first book to focus on a single region since his bestselling Balkan Ghosts, introduces readers to an explosive and little-known part of the world destined to become a tinderbox of the future.

Kaplan takes us on a spellbinding journey into the heart of a volatile region, stretching from Hungary and Romania to the far shores of the oil-rich Caspian Sea. Through dramatic stories of unforgettable characters, Kaplan illuminates the tragic history of this unstable area that he describes as the new fault line between East and West. He ventures from Turkey, Syria, and Israel to the turbulent countries of the Caucasus, from the newly rich city of Baku to the deserts of Turkmenistan and the killing fields of Armenia. The result is must reading for anyone concerned about the state of our world in the decades to come.

Industry reviews
"[S]olid journalism combines with a gloomy sense of history to produce a worthy study...."
Kirkus Reviews  (08/15/2000)

"Kaplan's parsing and splitting between the East and the West, as well as his heavy-handed invocation of the distant past, do a disservice to his considerable knowledge of ancient history and his acute observations of the troubles ahead. For he tends to boil away much of the world's subtlety and complexity--its capacity to be at once sensual and sophisticated, vicious and civilized, shaped by the distant and the recent past, by history but also by politics, by self-interest but also by principle. To integrate all of this into a coherent whole is the great challenge. Should Kaplan attempt it, he might show us a more realistic world than EASTWARD TO TARTARY for all its discernment, evokes."
New York Times  (12/10/2000)

"This entire book is illuminated by an unillusioned intelligence and a steady sort of attention to deeper, longer-range trends rather than what might be called headline-news ephemera."
New York Times  (12/15/2000)

"An obviously voracious reader, [Kaplan] is gifted at synthesis and lyrical retelling, and many readers will put down EASTWARD TO TARTARY considerably more knowledgeable about the region than before."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Alix Christie (12/17/2000)
