It was along the Silk Roads that East and West first came into contact through conquest and trade which led to the spreading of cultures, ideas and religions. From the fall and rise of empires, to the expansion of Buddhism and the rise of Christianity and Islam through the wars that dominated the 20th century, this book illustrates how the destiny of the West is always tied with the East.
Peter Frankopan realigns our understanding of the world, and orients towards the east. He vividly recreates the birth from the first towns of Mesopotamia and the beginning of the empires that grew up in Persia, Rome, and Constantinople and the ravages of the Mongols as well as the spread from the Black Death, and the brutal battles for Western imperialism. Through the millennia, it was the demand for goods from abroad which brought East as well as West, fuelling economic growth and the development of nations.
