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.
