Azerbaijan
 Azerbaijan (Cultures of the World) $42.79 Look at the cover of this book! Turban is a part of Kurdish national dress. Why Kurdish Man on the cover of book about Azerbaijan? Very interesting.  Black Garden: Armenia and Azerbaijan through Peace and War $23.00 Black Garden gives an excellent rundown of both sides of this war between former republics of the old Soviet Union. Both sides would argue that their side was not properly represented, but in fact it was. This author, while not commonly known outside this region has interviewed scores of common and leading players on both sides in this unresolved conflict. It is a must read.  Azerbaijan Diary: A Rogue Reporter's Adventures in an Oil-Rich, War-Torn, Post-Soviet Republic $36.95 It is a shame that Thomas Goltz, a once respected journalist, must cave in to the pressures of the Azerbaijani and Turkish interest groups by writing such frivolous and disingenuous lies. The unabashed bias with which this book is written only exacerbates the problems with how the Nagorno Karabakh people's independence movement is told and framed in the West. |
