Michael Kohn, former editor of the Mongol Messenger newspaper, is one steppe ahead of the journalistic posse in this epic Western set in the Far East. Kohns memoir of his time as a newsman in Mongolia is an irresistible account of a land where falcon poachers, cattle rustlers, exiled Buddhist leaders, death-defying child jockeys and political assassins vie for page one. A turf war between lamas, shamans, Mormon elders and ministers provides the spiritual backdrop in this nation which had only just been liberated from Soviet rule. From the reincarnated Bogd Khan and his press spokesman to vodka-fuelled racing entrepreneurs and political leaders unclear on the concept of freedom of the press, Kohn explores one of Asias most fascinating, mysterious and misunderstood lands.
Michael Kohn lived and worked in Mongolia from 1998 to 2000, and frequently returns to cover news stories and sample the mares milk. His previous books include Lama of the Gobi and Lonely Planet Mongolia. Michael has also worked in Israel, Colombia, Uzbekistan, South Africa and Tibet. He lives in San Francisco.
