The Silk Roads: A New History of the World

byPeter Frankopan

In The Silk Roads, Peter Frankopan presents a historical account centered on a New History of the World. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of history. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
