Azerbaijan Diary

A Rogue Reporter's Adventures in an Oil-rich, War-torn, Post-Soviet Republic

About this book

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.
