This memoir is a captivating exploration of Uzbekistan, set against the backdrop of a lifetime of global travels. The author traces his journey from early adventures at sea to diplomatic missions and high-level political engagements. However, it is Uzbekistan that leaves the deepest impression. Through its stunning Silk Road cities—Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva—he delves into the nation’s rich history, breathtaking architecture, and cultural heritage. He also examines its post-Soviet transformation, economic progress, and leadership under President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. A fascinating blend of personal reflection and historical analysis, this book unveils Uzbekistan’s enduring allure.
Richard Alston is a former barrister, a politician (Australia’s longest serving Minister in both the Communications and Arts portfolios) and diplomat (Australia’s High Commissioner (Ambassador) to the United Kingdom) and businessman, company director and an occasional essayist.
