The Empire of the Steppes: A History of Central Asia Grousset Rene Paperback
While the early history of the steppe nomads is shrouded in obscurity, this obscurity lifts somewhat after their contact with cultures possessing written histories. Thus, while the number of specialized studies devoted to them is impressive, general works embracing the many disciplines involved, or syntheses on a grand scale encompassing the sprawling history of these peoples, are exceedingly scarce. But even when information about them becomes relatively more plentiful, linguistic ocmplexities make its interpretation extremely difficult.
The aim of this first English-language edition has been to make available a major work useful to the general reader as well as to the specialist, above all an edition which retains the majestic sweep and grandeur, as well as the overriding intellectual grasp, of Grousset's original. Among these very few, The Empire of the Steppes is outstanding.
