Product Description
The Silk Roads: A New History of the World by Peter Frankopan retells global history by shifting attention away from the traditional Europe-centered narrative and toward the networks linking Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
What the book explores
Frankopan examines how trade routes, empires, religions, ideas, resources, wars, and migrations moved across the regions connected by the Silk Roads. The result is a broad account of how exchange and competition across these routes influenced major developments in world history.
Who it is for
A strong choice for readers interested in global history, geopolitics, trade, empire, cultural exchange, and a wider perspective on how civilizations became interconnected.
