The Silk Road In World History Book by Xinru Liu

The Silk Road in World History by Xinru Liu traces the Silk Road across the centuries, and the goods, peoples and ideas that travelled along it.

The vast steppe of Central Asia produced some of history’s most formidable conquerors — and some of its greatest traders. This book follows the nomadic peoples, empires and trade routes that connected China, Persia and Europe for centuries.

Key themes include:

• Nomadic life and warfare on the steppe
• Empires from the Mongols to Timur
• The Silk Road and the trade in ideas
• How steppe peoples shaped settled empires

Who should read it: readers interested in Central Asia, the Mongols and the history of trade.
