The book entitled Modern Mongolia: A Concise History was first published in 1996 and then in 2002 in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. Both the editions were very well received not only in the academic circle but also among the policy planners interested in Mongolia’s history, politics and society around the world. As such, the current edition of the book, which is being published by the Pentagon Press, New Delhi, was planned on the basis of the feedback of the previous two editions. It is an updated version with the inclusion of a few fresh chapters, the chronology of major events and unlike the previous editions it also includes more than 90 rare photographs which themselves are witness to the history of modern and contemporary Mongolia.

The history of the twentieth century Mongolia beginning from 1911 until the democratic revolution of 1990 unfolds a series of events that led the country to finally break its economic and political dependence on the former Soviet Union. In 1990 the first free elections were held which witnessed the formation of a new Parliament followed by the adoption of a new constitution in 1992 which changed the country's name from Mongolian People's Republic to simply Mongolia. In a concise form the book highlights important landmarks in modern Mongolia and also examines the prevailing situation in the Mongol land in the period preceding the twentieth century. Revival of nationalism has been a new phenomenon in Mongolia which was a direct result of the 1990 pro democracy and Nationalist Movement and therefore this issue has also been dealt with in the context of re emergence of Chinggis Khan as a national hero in the post Soviet Mongolia. A brief scenario of changes in Mongolia's domestic and foreign policy after collapse of the former Soviet Union has also been presented apart from highlighting the evolution of a new democratic civilian society and the overall political scenario in the country. While drawing attention to the revival of history culture and religion the book throws fresh light on issues concerning the nomadic identity of Mongols in the twenty first century. 206 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 63597
