Kaplan</a><br/><br/> <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16427712?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review"><h3>My review</h3></a> rating: 3 of 5 stars<br/>This book is somewhat outdated today-- I can say that, having traveled to some of the areas addressed in the book and witnessed some of the political and historical dynamics at play. That said, it gives a very good overview of the relationship of political hardship, i.e., corruption and how it is treated in-state and by outsiders. A worthwhile read. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/674150?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
