Mongolia is a nation where falcon poachers, cattle rustlers, exiled Buddhist monks, and death-defying child jockeys can be found. This work offers a perspective on this little-known society. It also shows how politicians and businessmen are trying to deal with the challenges being thrown up since the country was released from Communism in 1990.
This is a vivid, informative, and irresistible journey through one of the world's most isolated and mysterious countries. It is a nation where falcon poachers, cattle rustlers, exiled Buddhist monks, death-defying child jockeys, and political assassins can be found in virtually every town. "Dateline Mongolia" is written with a fast-paced, journalistic style offering a unique perspective on a little-known society - from the politicians and businessmen trying to deal with the challenges being thrown up since the country was released from the clutches of Communism in 1990 to the spiritual turf war being waged between lamas, shamans, Mormon elders, and Christian Missionaries. This is a compelling read!

Michael Kohn was the editor of the Mongol Messenger - Mongolia's premiere English-language newspaper - from 1998 to 2000, and a former writer for Lonely Planet.
