Discussion: The Silk Roads: A New History of the World

Author: Peter Frankopan

Description: The Silk Roads reexamines world history through the lens of the trade routes that connected the East and West, focusing on the economic, cultural, and political exchanges that shaped civilizations. Peter Frankopan argues that the Silk Roads were the true center of global development, influencing everything from the rise of empires to the spread of religions and technologies. By shifting the historical focus away from the West, Frankopan provides a broader, more interconnected view of global history, highlighting the importance of regions like Central Asia and the Middle East. The book offers a fresh perspective on the forces that shaped the modern world.
