About the Author

American-born Carl Robinson first came to Asia as a University student in the 1960s and then to South Vietnam where he was first an aid worker and then a war correspondent with the Associated Press (AP) and escaping Saigon by helicopter as it fell to communist forces in April 1975. He moved to Australia where he was Newsweek Magazine's correspondent and later a successful restauranteur. An extended trip to Mongolia opened his heart and mind to this fascinating country, and formed the inspiration for this book. He is based in Queensland, Australia.
