From the internationally renowned author of The Silk Roads, everything you need to know about the present and future of the world. Peter Frankopan, with his highly anticipated book The New Silk Roads, re-examines the network of relations forming along the Silk Roads today. The world is changing radically and in an era of Brexit and Trump, the issues of isolation and disintegration that permeate the Western world contrast with the events along the Silk Roads, where relationships have been strengthened and mutual cooperation has been established. Following the Silk Roads eastward from Europe to China, through Russia and the Middle East, The New Silk Roads offers a timely reminder that we live in a world that is deeply interconnected. In this prophetic modern history, Frankopan assesses the global consequences of these ongoing shifts in the center of power, often absent from the headlines in the West. This important—and ultimately hopeful—book invites us to rethink who we are and where we are in the world, highlighting the issues on which all our lives and careers depend.
