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.

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)
