**'**Many books have been written which claim to be “A New History of the World”. This one fully deserves the title' The Times

First published in 2015 to unparalleled global acclaim, Peter Frankopan's The Silk Roads has revolutionised long-held conceptions of history and empire. Radical, epic in scope and widely considered a seminal text in our understanding of the economic and political renaissance of the East, The Silk Roads is a masterpiece of historical research and political theory. In this anniversary edition, Frankopan demonstrates just how crucial The Silk Roads is to our appreciation of history and our comprehension of the future of our increasingly international world.

For centuries, fame and fortune were to be found in the West - in the New World of the Americas. Today, it is the East which calls out to those in search of riches and adventure. Sweeping right across Central Asia and deep into China and India, a region that once took centre stage is again rising to dominate global politics, commerce and culture.

With a new introduction and conclusion by the author, this 10th anniversary edition reinforces the role of The Silk Roads at the zenith of the twenty-first century's geopolitical canon.
