Selected for Olympic Challenge Uzbekistan and goes to Hobbit when finished. This was like a State of the Union address and I'm glad I read it because we have forgotten what it is like to start a country from scratch.

RELEASE NOTES:

on its way to hobbit

This has arrived safely. Thanks, hendertuckian, for sharing it!

Note: Send to Sheepseeker when done

It took me quite a while to read this as it sometimes felt a little bureaucratic and stilted, but with awkward wordings like sentence fragments that caused me to re-read several times to try to get the meaning. I agree, though, it was good food for thought and gave me some insight into the difficult position of trying to start a new country with a radically different structure from the previous government. It also pointed out some interesting things about Uzbekistan that I hadn't really paid attention to - for example, it is landlocked with no ports.

I sent this off today to Sheepseeker, who will pass it on to blackwidow, who may pass it on or whatever when she's done.

Thanks for sharing and sending the book, hobbit!

This has been the only non-fiction book I read for the Olympic Challenge.
It's been an interesting read - all the more since things have changed dramatically in that region shortly after the book was published. The writing style was a bit of a challenge at times, but I think that's mainly due to the translation.

Thanks for sharing the book with us! I'm now waiting for blackwidow1971's address...
