Excerpt from Dawn Over Samarkand: The Rebirth of Central Asia In preparing this book, I had scores of studies, monographs, memoirs in the Russian language. I cannot acknowledge all of them. The authors to whom I am particularly indebted are: Faizulla Khodzhaiev, Rakhim Khodzhibaiev, Boris Lapin, Zakhar Khatzrevin, A. Briskin, P. Alekseenko, F. Boshko, Orest Rovinsky, T. Dzhurobaiev. For my information about the early career of Enver Pasha, I am indebted to Louis Fischer's The Soviets in World Affairs. The quotations on pages 127, 128, 162, and 163 are taken from Soviet Rule in Russia by Walter Russell Batsell (The Macmillan Company, 1929). I wish to express my warmest gratitude to my colleague, Herman Michelson, as well as to Mr. Nathan Ausubel, and Mrs. Lydia Gibson Minor, for their reading of the manuscript and their many valuable editorial suggestions. Needless to say, the responsibility for the inadequacies of this book rest solely with me. I wish also to express deep appreciation to my friend Edward Dahlberg whose enthusiastic response to the material hastened the publication of this book.
