In an age of Brexit and Trump, the themes of isolation and fragmentation permeating the west stand in sharp contrast to events in the east, where ties are being strengthened and mutual cooperation established. This prescient contemporary history provides a timely reminder that we live in a profoundly interconnected world. Following the Silk Roads eastwards from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, bestselling historian Peter Frankopan guides us through the global reverberations of continual shifts in the centre of power — all too often absent from western headlines.
