This is a pioneering study which presents carefully researched data on the some 55 million Turkish-speaking peoples of the former Soviet Union and Central Asia. The historical background of and the recent developments in Central Asia and the Trans-Caucasus are presented in detail. Hostler's conclusions emphasize the present instability and the importance of Central Asia as well as the competing roles of Turkey, Iran, Russia and other countries. This unique book follows a standard, traditional historical approach. Central Asia is a vast, little-understood area of great strategic, political, military, and economic importance, which could be a source of future world instability. Scholars and policymakers will be interested in this source of updated and factual information about a little-known area of increasing significance.

This exciting new memoir charts the remarkable life of Dr. Charles W. Hostler (1919-2014). Hostler's experiences are quite extraordinary and his memoirs capture all the major scenes--from hawking newspapers on San Francisco cable-cars, to prowling Westwood as a UCLA undergraduate, to working as a road warrior for the California Highway Patrol, to his stint as an ace pilot for the U.S. Army Air Corps, to his East Coast secret agent-training in the OSS (the precursor to the CIA), to his work with real world James Bond-types working in the bowels of England's MI6 (now known as the SIS), Hostler's life was a dynamic odyssey of service, adventure, and discovery. All of these varied postings serving as mere pitstops in a singular voyage that culminates with Hostler's appointment as U.S. Ambassador to Bahrain (1989-1993) and his activities behind the scenes during the Persian Gulf War. Hostler's memoir is lavishly illustrated with eighty pictures, sixty in full-color.
