"The author of "Turan, Islamic Architecture in Central Asia" is Ernst Cohn-Wiener (1882-1941) He was born in Prussia. At the rise of the National Party in Germany, the author was asked to leave, both because of his ethnicity, but mainly because of his travels in the Soviet Union. First he went to England, than came to USA. The material in this book was gathered during the 1924 expedition in Turkestan, Central Asia, (today Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. ) At that time Central Asia was part of the Soviet Union; now it is The Russian Federation. At the time the author took the pictures (1924) most of the architectural masterpieces were already ruins." website description.
