*Choice*
This is an important book for scholars of modern Uzbekistan, and
will be a worthwhile addition to student reading lists. It provides
a fascinating journalistic account of an important period in modern
post-Soviet politics, and will also appeal to general readers
interested in the Central Asian region. For students and scholars
of Islamist movements, there are also important insights into
processes of religious revival and radicalization.
