Tajikistan, 1992 to 2026. The commanders who won the civil war were paid in ministries and border posts while Afghan heroin crossed the Panj in tons; within twenty years most were in prison, in exile or dead, and the president's family held the commanding heights. The book follows a drug agency whose first director got life, a smelter whose metal was sold through offshore companies with unnamed owners, a central bank that misled the IMF, a toll road, two rescued banks, a murdered banker and apartments in Dubai. Covers Emomali Rahmon and his government, Ghaffor Mirzoyev and the Drug Control Agency, Avaz Nazarov and Ansol, TALCO and Talco Management Limited, Murodali Alimardon and Credit Invest, Shamsullo Sohibov and Faroz, Umarali Quvvatov and Group 24, and Hasan Asadullozoda and Orienbank.
