Journalist Joanna Lillis (Silk Mirage) was one of the first guests on strategyaaron. In fact, she agreed to do the show before it’d even launched.
She returns to talk about her new book Silk Mirage: Through the Looking Glass in Uzbekistan.
Joanna and Aaron explore:
Uzbekistan’s pivotal role in Central Asia
The challenges posed by its authoritarian government
Why there’s more to the country’s people than the romance of the Silk Road
They also discuss reporting on dictators, and if those in Central Asia feel emboldened by Trump’s return.
