Very disappointing. I read this thinking it would give me insights about the history and culture of the Silk Road, which is surely one of the glorious and fascinating chapters of history. However, in the first third, he presented very little background to the bleak present-day landscapes and the mostly dispirited and hopeless people he described. Extremely depressing and not recommended. I did like the author's book on Siberia, though.
