The Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan

The Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan

Frankopan's argument is that Europe has never been the centre of anything for very long, and that the region between the Mediterranean and the Himalayas has been the hinge of world history for two thousand years.

He follows the roads themselves — silk, then faith, then slaves, then furs, then gold, then oil — through Persia, Central Asia, China and the Arab world, and the effect is to make familiar events look completely different. The Crusades become a trade dispute; the discovery of the Americas becomes a European attempt to get around an Asian monopoly.

An international bestseller that changed how a generation of readers understands world history.
