Uzbekistan is a country on the edge of the world. One American escapes to this distant land to avoid a debt he can’t repay, while another pursues him to even an old score. They seek fortune and revenge while facing crime lords, corrupt officials, and the drug trade. They each make the unlikeliest friends, and take some unconventional steps to get what they want. The bazaars, nightlife, and people of modern day Uzbekistan are presented through a gritty, fast-paced story of desperation and ambition. The Opportunists was recommended by Lonely Planet in their Central Asia guidebook (p.211, 5th Edition, 2010) Author: Yohann de Silva Kindle Edition: 281 pages Kindle eBook Company: A.

This is a police state This is a democracy This is rot-gut vodka This is $2 prostitutes This is Peace Corps This is good intentions This is Ramadan This is loyalty This is power outages This is corruption This is the Silk Route This is the former USSR This is Uzbekistan Tom Fleming went to Uzbekistan as a forty year old Peace Corps volunteer. He was a fish out of water, an infidel in a Muslim land, teaching AIDS prevention and sex education in the most conservative region of Central Asia. With humor and poignancy Taxi to Tashkent portrays a land little known in the West. Instead of a nation rife with Islamic extremists as portrayed in the Western media, Fleming discovers a land of Korean discos, where blue eyed Muslims listen to Shania Twain, and where shop owners break into applause at the mention of America. Fleming travels throughout Uzbekistan, from the ecological disaster site of the Aral Sea, to the ancient Silk Route cities of Bukhara and Samarkand. Taxi to Tashkent describes a little-known corner of the world where nothing appears as it seems.Author: Tom Fleming Paperback: 356 pages Company: iUniverse, Inc.

Uzbekistan is a country of contradictions. Where legality meets torture and Islam meets a secular state, Uzbekistan is torn between its historical roots, Soviet rule, and modern consumerism. As a vital ally in the 'War on Terror', yet retaining a deeply troubling record on human rights, even the West is uncertain about how to approach it. In this vibrant account, respected journalist Robert Rand draws on three years living and travelling in the region to carefully deconstruct the cultural allegiances and tensions that color Uzbek life. From the heritage of the country's beloved hero, Tamerlane, to the clash of cultures in Uzbek pop music, this lively book will captivate the historian, the traveller, and anyone who wishes to understand modern life in the ex-Soviet bloc.Author: Robert Rand Paperback: 224 pages Company: Oneworld (2006-09-11) ISBN: 1851684573 List Price: $14.95 Amazon Price: $9.33 Used Price: $3.15

At forty-four, Elizabeth Burns can’t rid herself of the notion that she will never find contentment or be deserving of love until she has achieved something important. Alone, speaking no Russian, and with the idea of writing a book, she sets out from Moscow by train for the former Soviet republics of Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. The decision to make the trip, however, turns out to be more than an attempt to have a career of consequence; it becomes the catalyst for her complete transformation. Feeling like her insecure fourteen-year-old self, Burns must confront the dark sides of her nature - her struggles with depression and fear of failure. She candidly shares her journey of discovery that contentment and the ability to love and be loved come from within.Author: Elizabeth Burns Kindle Edition: 265 pages Kindle eBook Company: Water Rabbit (2012-04-12) (2012-04-12) List Price: Amazon Price:

A tale of travels through Pakistan, Xinjiang (China), Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The story considers the current social and recent social, religious, political and economic context and overlays the journey with the 19th Century strategic rivalry in Central Asia between Russia and Great Britain, the so-called Great Game.Author: Ross Howard Kindle Edition: 158 pages Kindle eBook Company: (2011-10-13) (2011-10-13) List Price: $5.00 Amazon Price: 
In the winter of 1875, a young British officer set out across central Asia on an unofficial mission to investigate the latest secret Russian moves in the Great Game. His goal was the mysterious caravan city of Khiva, closed to all European travelers by the Russians following their seizure of it two years earlier. His aim was to discover whether, as many British strategists feared, this remote and dangerous oasis was about to be used as a springboard for an invasion of India.Captain Frederick Burnaby was already something of a legend. For a start he was reputed to be the strongest man in the British Army, standing six-foot-four and weighting over 200 pounds. He also spoke no fewer than seven languages, including Russian and Turkish, and possessed a most vigorous and colorful prose style. Unknown to his superiors, who would have forbidden the venture, he rode for over a thousand miles across steppe and desert, struggling through blizzards and snowdrifts, to reach forbidden Khiva. Burnaby was ordered home by an alarmed government and there he immediately sat down and wrote this best-selling account of his adventures.
