Description

Mongolia remains a beautiful barren land of spectacularly clothed horse-riders, nomadic romance and windswept landscape.

But modern Mongolia is now caught between two giants: China and Russia; and known to be home to enormous mineral resources they are keen to exploit.

China is expanding economically into the region, buying up mining interests and strengthening its control over Inner Mongolia.

Michael Dillon, one of the foremost experts on the region, seeks to tell the modern history of this fascinating country.

He investigates its history of repression, the slaughter of the country's Buddhists, its painful experiences under Soviet rule and dictatorship, and its history of corruption.

But there is hope for its future, and it now has a functioning parliamentary democracy which is broadly representative of Mongolia's ethnic mix.

How long that can last is another question. Short, sharp and authoritative, Mongolia will become the standard text on the region as it becomes begins to shape world affairs.
