The Silk Roads: A New History of the World — Peter Frankopan
World history, but with the map turned east.
In The Silk Roads, historian Peter Frankopan reframes the familiar story of civilization by placing the vast networks connecting Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, India, and China at the center. He follows the movement of goods, people, religions, ideas, disease, wealth, and power along the routes that connected East and West for centuries.
Sweeping but accessible, this international bestseller moves from ancient empires and the spread of Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam through conquest, global trade, and the upheavals of the twentieth century. A solid pick for history readers who like big-picture books that challenge the standard Western-centered narrative.
