The Silk Roads
Peter Frankopan
“The Silk Roads” by Peter Frankopan is – as described in a Guardian review – “an ambitious Persian-centric rewrite of world history.” At almost 700 illuminating pages, Frankopan attempts (and, largely, succeeds) to shift the spotlight of history away from Western Europe to the often ignored steppes of Central Asia, which were, for millennia, the home of empires and kingdoms that ruled the entire world.
