'Like the Florida of Russia, but Cheaper'
A fascinating new book offers an inside glimpse of Sochi, which will host the Winter Olympics in February.
Rob Hornstra and Arnold van Bruggen want to explain the Caucasus to us. They've been traveling there off and on since 2009 to tell the story of the war torn, post-Soviet region.
