The back reads:
Kyrgystan's mighty Tian Shan mountains formed the Soviet Empire's impressive border with China and helped to keep this small land impenetrable to visitors. Opened to the world just ten years ago, Kyrgystan offers a rich history and ancient, hospitable cultures as well as tremendous scenic beauty and diversity.
This, the first and so far only English-language guide specifically to Kyrgystan, provides practical information on the full range of travel possibilities to all parts of the country. A clear overview of the historical, cultural and social context helps readers understand this complex country. Stunning colour photogrpahy of the people and their environment evokes the special flavour of this previously untounched destination in the heart of Central Asia.
