A History of the Silk Road Jonathan Clements
The Silk Road is not a place, but a journey, a route from the edges of the Mediterranean to the central plains of China, through high mountains and inhospitable deserts. It was the conduit that first brought Buddhism, Christianity and Islam into China, and the site of much of the "Great Game" between 19th-century empires. For thousands of years its history has been a traveler's history, of brief encounters in desert towns, snowbound passes and nameless forts.
The ancient trade route controversially crosses the sites of several forgotten kingdoms, buried in sand and only now revealing their secrets.A History of the Silk Road not only offers the reader a chronological outline of the region's development, but also provides an invaluable introduction to its Today, its central section encompasses several former Soviet republics, and the Chinese Autonomous Region of Xinjiang.
