A part from oil, rugs are the Muslim world's best-known commodity. Rugs are found in most Western homes, yet the story of religious, political, and tribal strife behind their creation is virtually unknown. In The Carpet Wars, award-winning journalist Christopher Kremmer chronicles his fascinating ten-year journey along the ancient carpet trade routes that run through the world's most misunderstood and volatile regions -- Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, India, Pakistan, and the former Soviet Republics.An edge-of-your-chair travel memoir, The Carpet Wars is a riveting account of the carpet trade and a historic snapshot of contemporary Islamic countries wracked by turmoil but sustained through industry and humor.
