Reviews

Central Asia in World War Two makes a persuasive case for viewing the region as central to our understanding of the war. Using impressive archival research, Vicky Davis allows the voices of dozens of Central Asians to tell their own stories. An impressive achievement. * Stephen Norris, Professor of History, Miami University, USA *
