In 1993 Colin Thubron set out to explore the Moslem republics of the former Soviet Union. He visited the magical cities of Bukhara, Samarkand and Tashkent and travelled the Kazakh steppes, the barren desert of the Karakum and the Pamir Mountains. He meets many people - Uzbeks, Kazaks, Tartars, Tajiks, Turkomen, Russians, even Germans and Koreans, struggling to come to terms with change.
