” Brilliant.”-Time ” Admirable, rigorous. De Waal [is] a wise & patient reporter.”-The New York Review of Books ” Never have all the twists & turns, sad carnage, & bullheadedness on all side been better described-or indeed, better explained... Offers a deeper & more compelling account of the conflict than anyone before.”-Foreign Affairs Since its publication in 2003, the first edition of Black Garden has become the definitive study of how Armenia & Azerbaijan, two southern Soviet republics, were pulled into a conflict that helped bring them to independence, spell the end the Soviet Union, & plunge a region of great strategic importance into a decade of turmoil. This important volume is both a careful reconstruction of the history of the Nagorny Karabakh conflict since 1988 & on-the-spot reporting of the 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, & Washington, & unique historical primary sources, such as Politburo archives. The historical chapters trace how the conflict lay unresolved in the Soviet era; how Armenian & Azerbaijani societies unfroze it; how the Politiburo failed to cope with the crisis; how the war was fought & ended; how the international community failed to sort out the conflict. What emerges is a complex & subtle portrait of a beautiful & fascinating region, blighted by historical prejudice & conflict. The revisedand updated 10th-year anniversary edition

Includes:: a new forward, a new chapter covering developments up to-2011, such as the election of new presidents in both countries, Azerbaijan`s oil boom & the new arms race in the region, & a new conclusion, analysing the reasons for the intractability of the conflict & whether there are any prospects for its resolution. Telling the story of the first conflict to shake Mikhail Gorbachev`s Soviet Union, Black Garden remains a central account of the reality of the post-Soviet world.
