In its first years as an independent state, Azerbaijan was a prime example of post-Soviet chaos - beset by coups and civil strife and astride an ethnic, political and religious divide. Author Goltz was detoured in Baku in mid-1991 and decided to stay, this diary is the record of his experiences.

It is unfortunate that these two neighbouring countries dislike each other so much, because both are lovely countries to visit. Due to the way the two became separate political entities, both have enclaves surrounded by the other and it is impossible to map one without mapping both (unless one wipes out roads leading through the other s territory, resuming the roads and towns once it returns to the politically correct entity. The two have to be mapped as one, and visited as one; internally, the Armenians tend to inhabit the western third and portions of the centre, the Azeri most of the rest of the area, with enclaves of Avars, Lezgins, Cachuri, and Talys in specific areas. A second problem with mapping the two countries is that each insists that roads that used to be main transportation conduits were severed during the nationalistic creation of both entities, but both sides insist that these non-usable roads are still the main, or national, highways. Which ones are open, which ones have new by-pass routes, and which are closed is exceptionally difficult to record. We have done our best, and in our opinion, our map is more realistic than others on the market. Of course, the map shows points of interest, museums, churches of note, historic sites, airports etc. Detailed inset maps of Yerevan (capital of Armenia) and Baku (Azerbaijan) are included.

Russian Azerbaijan, 1905-1920 describes the rise of national identity among the Azerbaijanis - the Turkic-speaking Muslims of Russia's borderland with Iran - at the opening of the twentieth century. The principal focus is on the period from the Russian Revolution of 1905, when the Azerbaijanis began to articulate their national aspirations, until the establishment of the Soviet Azerbaijani Republic in 1920. The central theme of the book is the emergence of ideas, and then actions, that would create a new collective identity among the Muslims - a sense of nationality.

Summary:"Armenia, as a Christian country, has been a thorn wedged between its two Turkic neighbours, the Republics of Azerbaijan and Turkey. The geographic fact has been the cause of many cultural, political and ethnographic problems arising from it. Following the aims of creating a Pan-Turkic belt of countries stretching from Europe to Central Asia, efforts were made by the Ottoman Turkey to eliminate the presence of Christian Armenians from the region. After independence the authorities of the Republic of Azerbaijan have taken this policy to the extreme. These policies have given rise to call he Armenians as newcomers in their historic homeland, where they have lived for over two and half millennia. Every efforts has been made to either appropriate or to demolish Armenian historical monuments. False claims and theories have caused many historical and cultural paradoxes, some of which are addressed in this volume. To this end all the materials used have been mainly taken from non-Armenian sources."--Back cover. contents: 1. A brief glance into the history of the south Caucasus 2. The "Azerbaijan" misnomer 3.

Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2003Black Garden is the definitive study of how Armenia and Azerbaijan, two southern Soviet republics, got sucked into a conflict that helped bring them to independence, bringing to an end the Soviet Union, and plaguing a region of great strategic importance. It cuts between a careful reconstruction of the history of Nagorny Karabakh conflict since 1988 and on-the-spot reporting on its convoluted aftermath. Part contemporary history, part travel book, part political analysis, the book is based on six months traveling through the south Caucasus, more than 120 original interviews in the region, Moscow, and Washington, and unique primary sources, such as Politburo archives. The historical chapters trace how the conflict lay unresolved in the Soviet era; how Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders exacerbated it; how the Politiburo failed to cope with the crisis; how the war began and ended; how the international community failed to sort out the conflict. What emerges is a complex and subtle portrait of a beautiful and fascinating region, blighted by historical prejudice and conflict.
