New Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan

The New Silk Roads: The Present and Future of the World is Peter Frankopan’s follow-up to The Silk Roads, bringing his sweeping reassessment of world history up to the present day.

Tracing the old trade routes eastwards from Europe through Russia and the Middle East to China, Frankopan shows how deeply connected the world remains, and how sharply the rising ambitions of the East contrast with the mood of isolation and fragmentation in the West during the years of Brexit and Trump. It suits readers of global history, politics and economics who want to understand where power is shifting.
