Fostering Fundamentalism: Terrorism, Democracy and American Engagement in Central Asia

US Foreign Policy and Conflict in the Islamic World

by Dr Matthew Crosston

Is the United States, in its fight against terror and pursuit of Osama Bin Laden, recklessly creating conditions in Central Asia to produce the next Bin Laden? This groundbreaking volume examines in unflinching detail the unwitting role US foreign policy plays in fomenting that 'hot zone' and extremism.

I only read some pages via Google Books on the civil war in Tajikistan (1992-97) and the narrative seemed very cogent. Barring one typo (year 1991 used instead of 1992 for the date of the 16th Congress of the Tajik Supreme Soviet), I found no problems, and I would definitely buy the book.
