Description
“The Silk Roads” is more than a book—it’s a genuine study by British historian and Oxford University lecturer Peter Frankopan. The book examines the entire history of humankind over the last 2,000 years. You will learn how the Silk Road emerged from Asia to Europe, what wars were fought for control of it, and you will understand its true significance for the entire world.
You will see that history unfolded nothing like the way we’re used to studying it at school. For example, centuries ago, the intellectual centers of the world—“Oxфords” and “Cambridges,” “Harvards” and “Yales”—were not in Europe but in the cities of Central Asia, where all the enlightened youth flocked in search of success.
