Starting near the roof of the world on the Soviet Union's border
with China, Geoffrey Moorhouse's journey through Central Asia winds
across mountains, steppes and desert as well as the path of the
retreating Red Army before reaching Tamburlaine's tomb in
Samarakand. The sequel to his award winning To the Frontier, Apples
in the Snow is both a dramatic history of this wild region and an
absorbing portrait of its present. 'A beautifully written account
... Moorhouse is one of the great travellers: everywhere attuned to
past and present, to the uneasiness and muted discords of the
people about him, to the mundane, the ridiculous and the
extraordinary beauties of Central Asia.' Guardian
