The World's Political Hot Spots: The Golden Triangle

by Richard Hottelet

These presentations explain the basis of conflicts in some of the world's most politically sensitive areas. Many of these regions are in today's headlines, and tensions recently have become violent in virtually all of them. But these presentations are not about today's headlines. Rather, they explain the centuries of developments and conflicts that reveal how and why today's problems occur.
