The History of Central Asia

The epic plains and arid deserts of Central Asia have witnessed some of the greatest migrations. This work charts the 3000-year drama of Scythians and Sarmatians; Soviets and transcontinental Silk Roads; trade routes and the transmission of ideas across the steppes; and, the breathless and brutal conquests of Alexander the Great and Chinghiz Khan.
