The Turkmenbasha is dead... long live the Turkmenbasha!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This guide is getting old. The country was still ruled by a president for life calling himself "Turkmenbasha" - leader of the Turkmen people and hanging posters of himself all over the capital. Now with a new president the country may be a bit less colorful, but is still quite wild and not much has changed (the vote of 2006 was not considered fair by international observers). Still the chapters on politics are out of date. But the great style of righting more then makes up for this and the book is a great insight into a country which at the time of righting was truly unique and now is just a little less unique...
Wonderful travelguide with witty comments
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Mr. Brummell's travelguide to Turkmenistan provides not only accurate practical information, but also interesting and extensive background information. His observations and comments are witty and very funny. The guidebook is an indispensable companion for travellers to this fascinating country, but definitely also makes interesting reading for arm-chair travellers.
