rysack's review against another edition
4.0
A long read but a very insightful dip into the wildly unknown Azerbaijan. Really interesting accounts of destruction, rebuild and power play.
Mostly a real-life political thriller and the uprising - for better or worse - of Heydar Aliyev in the 90s and the fallout of the USSR dissolving.
Would love to read more by Goltz, if it weren’t so damn expensive!
8/10

I "borrowed" this permanently from an old friend before I went to Azerbaijan and it was one of the few sources of modern Azeri history I could find. There just isn't a whole lot out there about this part of the world and it provides some context for what is happening in this part of the world.
